Friday Favorites Link Up + New Slow-Cooker Recipe!

By Melissa · Comments (13) ·: March 22nd, 2013

Happy Friday! I’m so ready for the weekend because my husband is home and we are heading to my parents’ house for the next couple of days. With the weather being nice, we are going to plant our garden at my parents’ house and just spend some quality time together. It should be fun!

Also, we are in day three of Keenan wearing his “big boy” underwear and he is continuing to do well! We are still waiting for him to go number two though (poor thing, I’m afraid he is going to be so constipated from holding it in).

Well, it’s time for another edition of Friday Favorites and the third Link up!  If you are new here, every Friday is a chance to reflect back on the week and cherish some of your favorite moments and eats. I hope you will join me and share some of your favorites!

Slow-Cooker Chimichurri Pork

By Melissa · Comments (1) ·: March 22nd, 2013

After reading through a recent bon appetit magazine, I was inspired by a chimichurri recipe that I saw. The recipe called for hours of marinating before even cooking the pork, and since I don’t have that kind of time, I adapted it for my slow-cooker. It turned out great and it will now be one of our “regulars!”

Slow-Cooker Chimichurri Pork

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 hours, 14 minutes

Yield: 2 generous size pork chops or ribs

Slow-Cooker Chimichurri Pork

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen boneless pork chops or country style boneless ribs
  • 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place frozen pork in the bottom of your slow-cooker.
  2. Mix the rest of the ingredients (except for salt and pepper) together in a medium size bowl.
  3. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour sauce over pork and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  5. Serve with a side of roasted veggies of your choice and enjoy!

Notes

Slow-cooker cooking times vary, so I put mine on low for 10 hours and let the meat cook for 4 hours. It comes out perfectly juicy and tender!
