Slow Braised Roasts

We love slow braising roasts in our house and this Maple Pork Roast in no exception!  It’s so comforting to have a one pot meal cooking away in the oven on a winter day.  This is a weekend favorite because it takes a little care.  You’ll need to cook the pork for 8 hours, and the veggies only for the last 2.  If you love all day pot roasts, be sure to try my Simply Perfect Beef Roast and Rich Molasses Braised Beef Roast.

The Crockpot

In a lot of recipes, I’m in favor of a big heavy pot or dutch oven over the crock pot option.  Yes, the crock pot gives you the easy, set it and forget it factor.  But really, your oven does the same thing.  Starting your roasts by searing them on the stovetop before slow cooking them in the oven, really deepens their flavor.  It gives you that crust, that dark brown color, and that seared in rich goodness.  All that is achieved in the first 10 minutes on the stove top, and then the oven can slowly work it’s all-day magic.  While I love crock pots, they don’t let you do this.  I have not tried this exact recipe in a crock pot.  I have no doubt that it “will work” so give it a try if you want, but it just won’t be exactly the same.

The Touch of Sweetness

The natural sugars of the sweet potato, onion, and apple all get sweeter when slow cooked.  Their flavors marry so nicely with the hint of real maple syrup, deepening the flavor to balance them perfectly.  Your one-pot is already full of fruits and vegetables, so just pair dinner with a green salad. It’s the perfect cozy meal on a winter’s day.

Cheers to 2021🥂 A difficult year to look back o Cheers to 2021🥂 A difficult year to look back on for sure, but as we flipped through the year's photos last night, it contained a lot of good times.  We are looking at life a little differently, the sleep I lost from online school decisions will fade from memory, while the inspiration from watching people like @sarahcrowleyceramics and @midwest.foodie will keep me grinding the coffee in the basement at 5am to work a few silent moments before the kids wake.  May the early morning runs, the new covid friendships, the extreme hiking and the family pizza nights carry on.  May 2021 be a good year ✌️
