Keto Slow Cooker Pork And Fennel
This deliciously tender slow cooked pork is accompanied by aromatic fennel and rosemary with a hint of citrus and topped with creamy gravy.
How to Make It
Step 1
Mince the garlic and finely chop the rosemary. Score the fat of the pork and scatter over the lemon zest, fennel seeds, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Rub the seasonings all over the pork.
Step 2
Place the pork into the slow cooker. Quarter the fennel and celery sticks and arrange around the pork, tucking them underneath. Add the water.
Step 3
Turn the cooker to high and cook for 5 hours or slow for 8 hours until thoroughly cooked through.
Step 4
To prepare the gravy, strain the juices from the pork into a saucepan and skim the fat from the surface. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until the liquid has reduced by half.
Step 5
Stir the cream into the mixture and simmer for a few minutes more until you have a thickened gravy.
Step 6
Serve the pork with the gravy and caramelized vegetables.
