METHOD
Why It Works
A garlic-herb rub seasons the roast as it slow-cooks. Cooking low in broth keeps it tender and creates a savory base for gravy.

Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Italian herb blend
Sauce
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
Vegetables
• 1 yellow onion, sliced

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
What cut should I use?
A pork loin roast stays sliceable; pork shoulder gives a more pull-apart texture.
Can I add vegetables?
Yes. Add potatoes and carrots to cook alongside.
How do I serve it?
Sliced with the juices, over mashed potatoes, or with roasted vegetables.
Quick Fixes
Roast dry: keep it in the broth and don't overcook a lean cut.
Want gravy: thicken the juices with a cornstarch slurry.
More flavor: sear the roast before slow cooking.
