Greek Slow Cooker Pork Roast

Difficulty: Medium

📝 Ingredients

• 1.200 grams pork shoulder (boneless )
• 5-6 small potatoes (peeled and cut in half)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 small sprigs fresh rosemary
• 50 ml white wine
• olive oil
• dried oregano
• pepper flakes
• kosher salt
• ground pepper
• natural twine roll

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Butterfly the pork shoulder, using a sharp knife. Lay the pork flat and pound until it becomes evenly thick on all sides. About 1,5 cm thick. Sprinkle with chopped garlic, pepper flakes, kosher salt and ground pepper.
2. 2Start rolling the roast tightly.
3. 3Slide the twine under the roast and tie a knot on its upper side. (do not cut twine off the roll)
4. 4Hold the end of the twine with your left hand. Pass the twine around your right hand while spreading it wide open to create a hole.
5. 5Flip your hand while you keep it wide open. You should now face your palm.
6. 6Pas the roast through the hole of your hand starting from the upper end. Pass it under the first knot.
7. 7Pull the end of the twine to tighten the knot. Repeat making knots exactly the same way until you reach the bottom end of the roast.
8. 8Once you reach the bottom side of the roast, turn the roast upside down and pass the twine all the way up.
9. 9Pass the twine under the last knot on the upper end of the roast.
10. 10Turn the roast upside down for the last time and secure twine at exactly where you started to make the very first knot. (this way you know where to cut off the twine when it comes out of the cooker, so it will all come out in one piece)
11. 11Lay the potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker and add the roast on top. Sprinkle with a bit of olive oil and the white wine. Season with kosher salt, ground pepper, and oregano. Add rosemary under the twine. Pour about 100 ml water.
12. 12Cover and cook on medium-high for about 3-4 hours.(If you want it a bit crispier on the outside, cook it for 20 more minutes on the rack of the oven, preheated on the grill at 230°C / 446°F.)
13. 13Let it cool down a bit and cut into thin slices.
