Slow Cooker Mediterranean Pot Roast

mediterranean slow cookerSummer is right around the corner folks - time to break out the crockpot! Love that slow cookers are multi-seasonal! All winter I’m like, “O-M-G it’s FREEZING! It’s time for some crockpot 4-Bean Chili! But then summer rolls around and I’m breaking out the crockpot so I don’t have to turn on the oven. And it’s totally summer food like the best ever BBQ Shredded Pork or one of my fave’s from the Crockpot365 blog (all GF recipes btw!): Carnitas. Is pot roast a seasonal food?

My husband isn’t a big soup person and he came back for thirds! The seasoning blend was perfection! This is perfect for a cold winter’s night. Many thanks for this great recipe! Welcome to The Mediterranean Dish. I am making this in my instant pot. Just add all ingredients (except for zest, lemon, and dill) to the pot and I’m cooking it for 14 minutes on pressure cook. Naturally release after 10 minutes. Add lemon, zest, and fresh dill when finished cooking. It is so good and so much faster in the instant pot. Pressure cooking is my new thing.

There was plenty of flavor in the juices, so without any thickening it would still be excellent if you are on a low-carb diet. The meat was very lean which is a characteristic of a rump roast or a bottom round roast. Both of those cuts of meat do really well when braised in a small amount of liquid like this slow cooker recipe calls for.

It’s more or less accepted that Portland is the Food Cart Capital of the nation, right? Naturally, I get a lot of inspiration from the highly evolved food truck fare around here. My most recent inspiration came from the cart called Gonzo, which specializes in Israeli and Mediterranean street food.

These Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken is drenched in a dreamy white wine lemon sauce and smothered with capers, artichokes, mushrooms, and green beans. It’s a healthy and super flavorful one pot meal! One of the best things about using the slow cooker is how easy it is. There’s not much more to it than dumping a bunch of ingredients in a bowl and turning a knob. Of course, it’s still possible to mess up a slow cooker recipe.

Layer squash, bell pepper and chicken in 4- to 5-quart slow cooker. Mix tomatoes, salsa, raisins, cinnamon and cumin; pour over mixture in slow cooker. 2. Cover and cook on low heat setting about 7 hours or until squash is tender and juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.

I hope you can look past the pictures and give this slow cooker mediterranean pork a chance. It turns out it’s really hard to make pulled pork look appetizing on a plate! Despite that, trust me when I say that this meal was amazing. So amazing that we’ve had it multiple times since I took these pictures.

Then, set the aside until it's time for them to go into the slow cooker. Heat another frying pan. Dump the bacon and chorizo and cook until browned and a generous amount of fat has been rendered. Scoop out the browned bacon and chorizo. Reheat the rendered fat and saute the onion, garlic, bell pepper, thyme and oregano. Line the slow cooker with the sauteed aromatics and the fat in which they were cooked. Place the browned beef short ribs on top followed by the bacon and chorizo. Pour in the diced tomatoes.

But I don’t take it personally if you ignore my instructions, and I think this will still be pretty good even if you just dump the ingredients in the slow cooker and turn it to low. Slice 8 oz. mushrooms and chop up one small onion. Heat a small amount of olive oil and saute the mushrooms.

]. Mom and Dad enjoyed the extra veg that helped me determine the name for this recipe: jarred roasted red peppers and jarred marinated artichoke hearts. The other ingredients like basil, oregano and gnocchi I’m not super brand loyal to. And honestly, I don’t remember which brands I used! So here’s to another simple slow cooker meal and a birthday weekend away! I can’t wait to share more about our weekend in Chicago. Stay tuned on Monday or Tuesday for the recap…. 1. Add beef, marinara sauce, onion, artichoke hearts, peppers, and seasonings to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. 2. Cook gnocchi according to package directions. To plate, add gnocchi to bowl and top with beef mixture. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over top.
