Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork shoulder or pork butt roast
• 6 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 large Onion, chopped
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 3 large Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 medium Potatoes, quartered
• 1 whole Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels. Using a small knife, make six small slits evenly around the roast and insert a garlic clove into each slit.

Step 2

Rub the pork roast with olive oil, then season it all over with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and smoked paprika.

Step 3

In the bottom of a large crock pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes to create a flavorful vegetable base.

Step 4

Place the seasoned pork roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour the chicken broth over the roast and vegetables, then add the bay leaf to the pot.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and can easily be shredded with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and discard it. Serve the pork roast with the cooked vegetables, spooning over the flavorful juices from the crock pot.
