1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast
1 cup barbeque sauce
½ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 extra large onion, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme
8 hamburger buns, split
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed

Pour vegetable oil into the bottom of a slow cooker. Place pork roast into the slow cooker; pour in barbeque sauce, vinegar, and chicken broth.
Stir in brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onion, garlic, and thyme.
Cover and cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours or High for 5 to 6 hours until pork shreds easily with a fork.

Remove pork from the slow cooker, and shred the meat using two forks. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker, and stir to combine with juices.

Spread the inside of both halves of hamburger buns with butter. Toast buns, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Spoon pulled pork into toasted buns.

Slow Cooker Pork Roast

3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
3 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
5 tablespoons olive oil
One 5- to 6-pound boneless pork shoulder with a fat cap
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 large carrots, cut into rough 1-inch chunks
4 celery ribs, cut into 2-inch-long pieces
1 large onion, trimmed but left intact at the root end, cut into eighths
2 bay leaves
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 to 4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Buttered egg noodles, for serving
Add Checked Items To Grocery List

Coarsely chop together the rosemary, sage and thyme, and transfer them to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, and stir to combine.
Score the fat cap of the pork shoulder in a crosshatch pattern, then rub it all over with 2 1/2 tablespoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and heat until shimmering. Add the pork, fat-side down, and brown it well, 3 to 4 minutes, then brown it all over, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a large plate.
Add the wine, garlic and allspice to the pan, bring to a simmer and reduce by about half. Set aside.
Put the carrots, celery, onions and bay leaves in the insert of a 7-quart slow cooker. Rub the herbed oil all over the pork, being sure to push some into all the natural divisions between muscles; place it on top of the vegetables, and pour in any collected juices. Add the reduced wine mixture and the chicken broth, cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board, and tent with foil. Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Discard the bay leaves, and tent the vegetables with foil. Pour the juices into a liquid measuring cup, and let them settle for about 10 minutes. The fat should rise to the surface; spoon off as much as you can, and discard. Pour the juices into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil.
While the juices boil, make a cornstarch slurry: For every cup of juices, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch into 1 tablespoon cold water until dissolved. Reduce the heat so the juices are simmering, whisk in the slurry and cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Season with salt if necessary.
Slice the pork against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange on a large platter with the vegetables. Ladle some of the sauce on top. Season the meat with a pinch of salt, and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Serve with egg noodles, and pass the remaining sauce. Source: Food Network Kitchen

Turkish Stuffed Eggplants

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 small eggplants
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 14 1/2- to 15-oz can chopped tomatoes, with their juice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 8-in round pita breads, quartered and toasted
1 cup Greek-style yogurt, for serving

Pour 1/4 cup of the olive oil into the insert of a 5- to 7-qt/4.5- to 6.5-L slow cooker, and brush the bottom and sides with the oil.
Cut each eggplant in half lengthwise (no need to remove the stem), and score the flesh every 1/4 in, being careful not to cut the skin.
Arrange the eggplant, skin-side down, in the insert, and sprinkle with some salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat, and saute the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften. Add the tomatoes and parsley, season with salt and pepper, and saute for another 5 minutes,
until the liquid in the pan has almost evaporated. Using a large spoon, spoon the tomato mixture over the eggplants, covering each half with some of the mixture. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 4 hours.
The eggplant should feel tender when the tip of a sharp knife is inserted into the thickest part.

Uncover the slow cooker, and let the eggplant rest for 10 minutes. Then lift the eggplant out of the slow cooker with a long spatula,
and transfer to a serving platter. If there is any juice in the bottom of the cooker, spoon it over the eggplant.
Serve the eggplant with the toasted pita and yogurt on the side.Gently reheat over low heat before serving.
