New job, so time to experiment with crockpot options for meals ready to eat back at home. I was hesitant to try this one, since pre-made peach salsa seems like a bit of a shortcut. But it does make it so simple and easy - just three ingredients! To wit:
Recipe
2+ lb boneless pork roast
1+ lbs sweet potatoes
2 c peach salsa
vegetable oil, salt & pepper
Chop your sweet potato into 1" chunks - no need to go too small! - and place in the bottom of the crockpot. Heat a tbsp oil in a heavy skillet. Season your roast with salt & pepper. Brown on all sides, then place on top of sweet potatoes. Pour over the salsa. Heat on high 4-5 hours, or low 7-9.
Serve with rice, spicy sesame oil, cilantro, parsley, chopped green onion, anything else.
Notes
It took a while to get to this since it's not quite as simple as putting everything in the crockpot and setting it to go for a while. But it came out well in the end! The original recipe tells you to neatly slice your pork into chops, but as soon as I tried to do that it shredded. Not a problem though! The way my day went, it cooked on the higher end of the time range so maybe dried out a little; a little extra salsa can address that. The sweet potatoes came out amazing...
