Sherry and Onion Pork Loin

[Smokin' in AZ]

@chilerelleno We did the pork loin in the slow cooker last night. And here are some pics of the cook.

Sorry I could not find a slow cooker forum, hope I do not get in trouble for this.

And it is really more of a shredded meat than pulled as you said in the other thread. But I use the bear claws on this same as I do for the pulled pork butt.

Here it is in the slow cooker.

This was a monster loin - 5.5lbs. Where the heck does Walmart get a pig that big?

Here it is resting.

Here it is shredded.

And the final product.

Pulled it at an internal temp of 195 degrees.

Chile, that shredded pork loin could go into many different mexican dishes I think, burros, tacos, etc.

We have a bunch leftover, any suggestions?

@chopsaw tonight is chuckeye steak night, stay tuned!

Just in case you missed the recipe in @chilerelleno 's post.

Pork Loin with Sherry and Red Onions

2 1/2 lbs Boneless Pork Loin, tied
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 Large red onions
1 cup pearl onions, blanched and peeled
1/2 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

1. Rub pork with salt and pepper. Place pork in slow cooker. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add red and pearl onions, cook and stir for 5-7 minutes or until softened.

2. Add onion mixture, sherry and parsley to slow cooker over pork. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours or on high 4 to 5 hours.

3. Remove pork to large cutting board; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10-15 minutes before slicing.

4. Stir water into cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth, whisk into cooking liquid. Cover; cook on high 15 minutes or until thickened. Serve pork with onions and sherry sauce.

TIP - Double all ingredients except for the sherry, water and cornstarch if using a 5, 6, or 7 qt slow cooker.

We did the low setting for the cook and substituted huge yellow sweet onions we get from a local farm. It is more like shredded than pulled actually.
The tenderness might be a combination tons of onions and cook time.

Looks pretty darned good from where I'm sitting.

Leftovers suggestions? Look up my Green Chicken Enchiladas and substitute the pork, should be dynamite.

Sorry, there's no Green Chiles in that recipe, but you can add them to suit her tastes.

Thanks for the heads up.

I figured with the word green in it it had green chiles.

As you probably could tell I am a real newbie to cooking mexican dishes, but I am trying so thanks for being gentle with me.

They seem to skinnier and around 3-4 pounds around here. A 10 pounder would need a huge crock pot.
