Pork Roast with Twist of Orange Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Cook: 4-1/2 hours

Yield: 8 Servings

25 270 295

Ingredients

4 bacon strips, diced
1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 to 4 pounds)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
4-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup chicken broth, divided
2/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Hot mashed potatoes, optional

Directions

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; set aside. Cut roast in half. Brown meat in drippings on all sides. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings.
Brown onion in drippings. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add the jalapeno, chili powder, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup chicken broth, orange juice and bacon; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 4-1/2 to 5 hours or until meat is tender.
Remove pork and onion to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil. Combine flour and remaining broth until smooth. Gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with pork and mashed potatoes if desired. Yield: 8 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

I thought when I read the recipe that it was odd that it had chili powder and OJ together. But it was so so surprisingly good! I used a pork tenderloin for a leaner cut of meat and it turned out great. We ate with Orange Rice Medley, but I think the next time I would serve with mash taters

Reviewed on Apr. 24, 2010 by THECOOK1

Very Good. I was confused when the ingredients asked for chicken broth and flour and directions state combine cornstarch and water. Being a new cook, this was very confusing at first. But the meal was well worth it.

This recipe sounds great but I am bad with how much cornstarch to use. Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks.

Pork roast with a twist of orange is absolutely delicious and one my family makes when we have all the ingredients. We love it and will be keeping this recipe, as it's so simple and so easy to eat :)

This pork roast is excellent. I don't know why it received only one star but I would rate it all five stars. I didn't put in the full amount of chili powder, maybe 2 teaspoons, because my young grandchildren woould be eating also. The gravy was simple to make and very good. I have made this several times already and will be making it today for Valentine's Day dinner for the Family. Excellent choice for a slow cooked meal.
