Slow Cooker Red Curry Pork

Slow Cooker Red Curry Pork

We committed to a huge amount of pork via Sam's club having a deal on pork shoulder. We ended up with 2 massive roasts, about 6 lbs each. Pork shoulder is perfect for slow cooker recipes. One favorite is just to pour two bottles of low sugar barbeque sauce over it, cook on low 8-10 hours and then add black beans or any bean of choice for easy bbq pork and beans. This curry recipe has become the other new favorite.

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup Thai red curry paste
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
6 lb pounds boneless pork shoulder or Boston butt, trimmed (ours had a bone in it)
2 cans coconut milk (enough to halfway cover the pork. If you want less fat, use 1 can coconut milk and 1 can water).
 
Mix everything but the pork in the slow cooker, blending with a whisk until smooth. Add the pork roast, cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until falling apart.
 
We serve ours over veggie noodles that were lightly sauted with a little coconut oil and garlic.
 
This makes a week's worth of meals for 2.
