My dear husband voiced the ultimate compliment after enjoying his first bite of this succulent, slow-cooker roasted pork. He said it tasted like his Dad’s.
That’s equivalent to a husband saying an apple pie you make tastes like his Mom’s. His Dad is infamous around these parts for knowing how to cook a whole hog on a spit until perfection.
This sugar-free, slow-cooker roasted pork tastes similar to that, but on a much smaller scale. A THM S, you can enjoy slices of this roast with loaded mashed cauliflower and broccoli for an elegant meal, or try it in a low-carb wrap with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, mustard, and any other low-carb fixin’s you enjoy.
All you need are a few spices (paprika, cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and pepper), a bit of sweetener (I used xylitol, but you can use half the amount in Gentle Sweet if you prefer), some chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and sugar-free ketchup (there’s also a recipe for sugar-free ketchup in the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, if you don’t have a bottle on hand).
This succulent, slow-cooker roasted pork is the perfect filling for a low-carb wrap, or serve with mashed cauliflower and green beans for an elegant THM S meal.
