Slow-Cooker Roast Pork (Buzhenina)

Make fragrant roast pork for irresistible sandwiches! Buzhenina — cold roast pork — is a wonderful topping for morning toast or an afternoon snack. I love making it in the slow cooker: the result is simply amazing, and it takes almost no effort.

  • Pour the olive oil into a deep bowl and add the salt and spices: the pepper, French herbs, paprika, ginger, and ground nutmeg. Mix well and rub the paste all over the piece of pork. Let it marinate for at least 4 hours, ideally 8. Peel the garlic and cut each clove in half. Make angled slits in the pork and tuck a piece of garlic into each pocket. Put the studded pork into the slow-cooker bowl, select the "Sauté" mode, and brown the meat on all sides until deep golden — about 5 minutes per side. Put the meat in an oven roasting bag, tie off the ends, and set it in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the water into the bowl, switch to the "Bake" mode, and set the timer for 40 minutes. Then switch to "Simmer" (Stew) and cook, covered, for 2 hours. Now chill the cooked meat thoroughly — first at room temperature, then in the fridge for at least a couple of hours. Slice the chilled roast pork thin and serve! Enjoy!
