Crock Pot Pork Roast with Tenderizer and Sauerkraut

This recipe combines the slow-cooking magic of a crock pot with the tangy deliciousness of sauerkraut and the tenderizing power of a meat tenderizer.

Ingredients:

* 3-4 pound boneless pork roast (shoulder, loin, or butt)

* 1 tablespoon meat tenderizer (powder or liquid)

* 1 large onion, chopped

* 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 (14.5 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained

* 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

* 1/4 cup brown sugar

* 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

* Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the roast: Rinse and pat dry the pork roast. Sprinkle the meat tenderizer evenly over the roast, making sure to cover all sides.

2. Marinate: Place the roast in a large bowl, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Toss to coat the roast well with the tenderizer, onion, and garlic. Cover the bowl and let the roast marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

3. Crock pot assembly: Place the marinated roast in the crock pot. Add the drained sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and caraway seeds (if using) around the roast. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the pork is fork-tender.

5. Shred and serve: Remove the roast from the crock pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and stir to combine with the sauerkraut mixture. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.

Tips:

* You can substitute apple cider vinegar with white vinegar or apple juice for a sweeter flavor.

* Add a few juniper berries to the crock pot for a unique flavor.

* Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) before serving.

* To create a thicker sauce, remove some of the cooking liquid from the crock pot and thicken it with cornstarch or flour.
