Making Pork Sliders
For my last blog post i decided to end off with a more complicated dinner recipe. This recipe consisted of pork shoulder that had been slow cooking in the crock-pot since the AM, a homemade coleslaw, tomato, avocado, and adorable little slider buns. I woke up early to prep the veggies, and citrus fruits for the pork to marinate in all day. I went with the original recipe and cooked it in a slow cooker instead of an oven because Rachel Hollis had said that it can dry out in the oven but the slow cooker will keep it moist and full of flavor (Hollis 101). The actual recipe for the sliders come from the section of the cookbook called "leftovers" and uses the leftover pork from the "mango chipotle carnitas" recipe. My parents picked out this recipe and had basically told me to make it! You know what they say, mom's know best!
The slider's turned out to be AMAZING! The pork was bursting with flavor from the mango, onions, jalapeno's combined with the lime and orange juice. The sliders also included a homemade coleslaw to go along with the juicy meat. Then, to go on top of that the meat the recipe called for avocado and tomato. Normally I would've taken the tomato out of the recipe completely but Rachel had said "if you have leftover carnitas this is a great way to use them with a totally different flavor palate" (Hollis 148). So I figured I should incorporate all the ingredients that were called for so we were able to have the full flavor experience. Overall these were a huge hit in my family.
What recipes/dishes have you guys had that were made in a slow-cooker?
