Sweet and creamy parsnips, a delightful root vegetable resembling a thick carrot, are perfect for roasting or mashing.
Ingredients:
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seed, crushed
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 boneless pork shoulder (3 lb)
  • 3 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (3 cups)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (3 cups)
  • 12 cloves garlic, peeled, cut in half
  • 1 1/2 cups water
Instructions:
  • Combine Italian seasoning, fennel seed, salt, and celery seed in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly onto the pork (no need to remove any netting or ties). Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the pork for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is nicely browned on all sides.
  • Prepare the slow cooker by giving it a light coating of cooking spray. Add parsnips, sweet potatoes, and garlic to the slow cooker, then pour in water. Place the pork on top of the vegetables. Cover and cook on Low for 9 to 10 hours, or until the pork is tender.
  • Take out the pork from the slow cooker, place it on a cutting board, discard any netting or strings, slice the pork across the grain, and serve with vegetables and juices.
