Here’s an almost effortless recipe that yields luscious, melting slices of long-simmer pork with a lovely dark, rich-tasting sauce or—if you have time to reduce it—glaze. All you do is make a quick brown sugar rub for your pieces of pork loin, then add them to the slow cooker along with chicken stock, balsamic vinegar, and a bit of soy sauce. After 8 hours on low, you’re ready to eat. Be sure to select roasts with as much fat as possible, both on the exterior, as a healthy fat cap, and good internal marbling, so it doesn’t dry out from 8 hours of slow cooking.
