Slow Cooker Recipes: Pork Shoulder Recipes: Slow Cooker Pork Shoulder Roast

Hi guys! This week it's back to some slow cooker recipes! This week it's going to be slow cooker recipes and it's going to be one of my pork shoulder recipes. It seems to me that I get a lot of requests from England lately. About two months ago one of my Youtube viewers asked me how I would cook a blade in pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Seems this chap uses a slow cooker on a regular basis.

So I could not get to his request as quickly as I wanted to because I had other requests but this week it's slow cooker recipes and I am going to make one of my favorite pork shoulder recipes for my Youtube viewer. This week I am making slow cooker pork shoulder in a white wine and dijon mustard sauce. I's going to be delicious!

I love slow cooker recipes! It's just one of those things that is set and forget. When I got this request to do pork shoulder recipes I really had to put some thought as to how I wanted to approach this. So I thought about the many slow cooker recipes that I know and that fact that I do not know a lot of pork shoulder recipes and I decided to cook the pork shoulder much in the same manner as I cook my beef when I did my beef bourguignon recipe not to long ago.

When it comes to slow cooker recipes I cooked the beef bourguignon in a red wine sauce and I thought that with pork shoulder recipes I could cook the pork shoulder in a white wine sauce much as I did the beef. I worked on it for a week and come up with the ideal way to make one of the best slow cooker recipes that I have had in a long time.

Pork shoulder recipes are not easy to make. You just can't throw a pork shoulder in the oven and baste it and hope that it comes out tender because it won't! It will come out like you are eating an old wallet! There is a lot of connective tissue in pork shoulder so I decided to cook the shoulder in a slow cooker with white wine, dijon mustard, andouille sausage, potatoes and vegetables!

As with many slow cooker recipes this dish will take upwards of eight hours to come to completion. Whether it's beef slow cooker recipes or pork shoulder recipes, when it comes to meat that is a bit on the tough side with lots of tissue that needs to be broken down then the best way is in the slow cooker. The slow cooker will take an average, not so tasty piece of meat and turn it into a meal fit for a king.

One of the keys to an excellent slow cooker dish like pork shoulder recipes is to pre-cook or brown many if not all of the constituent parts of the meal to put flavor into them before using them for your slow cooker recipes! In most cases to just throw your ingredients into a slow cooker or crockpot and just add some herbs and spices and let it cook away just makes for a soggy somewhat flavorless mess! This is why with my slow cooker recipes I always brown up all the constituent parts before they go into the slow cooker!
