Today I propose a delicious recipe for pork roll with peas, slowly and carefully cooked in a Crock Pot slow cooker. This recipe is not only simple and full of flavors, but it will also give you the chance to enjoy your free time, letting the food cook slowly and evenly. The pork roll is a traditional dish loved by many generations, and the addition of pea puree gives it a refined taste and a unique texture. Ingredients needed For 2 rolls: - 1 kg boneless pork loin - 200 g peas (you can use frozen peas for convenience) - a pinch of salt, pepper, and oregano (to taste) For rubbing the meat: - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper - 1 teaspoon sweet paprika - 1 teaspoon dried oregano For the bed of vegetables: - 10-12 potatoes - 4 large carrots - 3 small onions - 1 red bell pepper - 2-3 tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon sea salt - 1 teaspoon sweet paprika - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper For greasing the ceramic pot: - 1 tablespoon butter Step-by-step preparation 1. Preparing the peas Start by boiling the peas in salted water for about 10 minutes. This will help preserve the color and texture. After boiling, drain the peas and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. 2. Making the pea puree Use an immersion blender to turn the boiled peas into puree. Place the puree in a bowl and add salt, pepper, and dried oregano, mixing everything well. It’s a simple mixture, but full of flavor, which will enhance the taste of the rolls. 3. Preparing the meat Cut the pork loin into two pieces. Use a meat mallet to pound them out so they become thinner and easier to roll. This technique not only helps to even out the meat but will also make it more tender after cooking. 4. Filling the rolls Spread each piece of meat with the pea puree, making sure it is evenly distributed. Roll each piece of meat tightly, then tie them with special string for rolls, ensuring the filling doesn’t come out during cooking. 5. Seasoning the rolls In a plate, mix the olive oil with the spices: salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Use this mixture to rub the rolls, ensuring each portion is well coated. 6. Preparing the vegetables Peel and wash the vegetables. Cut the potatoes in half or quarters, the carrots into 2-3 cm rounds, and the onions in halves. The red bell pepper is cut into large slices. In a larger bowl, combine the vegetables with olive oil and spices, mixing well to coat them evenly. 7. Assembling in the slow cooker Grease the ceramic pot of the slow cooker with a layer of butter. Add the seasoned vegetables, and place the rolls on top. Place the onions and slices of bell pepper around the rolls to absorb the flavors. 8. Slow cooking Cover the pot with the lid and select the High temperature, setting the cooking time for 5 hours. During this time, delicious aromas will fill the house, so prepare for a unique culinary experience. 9. Serving After the cooking time is up, the appliance will automatically switch to keep warm. The pork roll will be tender, and the vegetables will retain their crunchy texture. Serve this dish with a fresh salad or a side of rice to complete the meal. Useful tips - If you want to add extra flavor, you can add crushed garlic to the pea puree. - Instead of pork loin, you can use chicken breast or turkey for a lighter option. - This dish pairs perfectly with a white wine or a light beer to highlight the flavors. Nutritional benefits Peas are an excellent source of protein and fiber, and the vegetables add essential vitamins and antioxidants. This recipe is not only tasty but also healthy, providing a balance of nutrients. Frequently asked questions - Can I use fresh peas? Yes, fresh peas are fantastic, but make sure to boil them briefly before turning them into puree. - How can I store the rolls? The rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven to maintain the crunchy texture of the vegetables. I conclude this recipe with the thought that cooking is an art to be savored. This pork roll with peas on a bed of vegetables is perfect for a family meal, but also for special occasions. Enjoy every bite and cherish the time spent in the kitchen!
