This is a fabulous opportunity to learn more about Paleo nutrition, the toxic effect of sugar, and may you are finding it difficult to lose weight on your own!  

To get you in the mood, here’s a simple and delicious recipe from skinnytaste.com!  All you need is a crockpot and a few simple ingredients and voila!  A fabulously satisfying meal your entire family will love!

 

Slow Cooked Jerk Pork with Caribbean Salsa

Pork roast, marinated overnight with fresh citrus juice, garlic, and jerk seasoning, then slow cooked all day while you’re away. Topped with a bright, fresh Caribbean salsa of fresh mangos, avocado and cilantro.You are NOT going to believe how good it tastes!  

Servings: 10 • Size: 3 oz pork, 1/3 cup salsa • Old Pts: 6 pts • WW Pts+: 7 pts
Calories: 265 • Fat: 15 g • Protein: 21.4 g • Carb: 11.5 g • Fiber: 2 g • Sugar: 7.5 g
Sodium: 468.4 mg (without salt)

Ingredients:  
3 lb boneless pork shoulder blade roast, lean, all fat removed
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 – 3 tbsp Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning (I used mild)
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 lime, squeezed
1/2 cup fresh orange juice

 

For the Caribbean salsa:
1  avocado, diced
2 large ripe mangos, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp chopped red onion
1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2-3 tbsp fresh lime juice 
salt and pepper, to taste

 

Directions: 
Using a sharp knife, cut slits into the pork and stuff holes with half of the crushed garlic. Combine the remaining garlic, jerk seasoning, and salt, rub all over pork (you may want to wear gloves). Place in a large container, pour the lime and orange juice over the pork; cover and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight, turning pork occasionally so the marinade covers all of pork. 

The next morning, put everything in the crock pot and cook on LOW for 9 hours.  After 9 hours, remove pork and shred using two forks.  Remove liquid from crock pot and reserve. Add shredded pork back to the slow cooker. Add about 1 cup of the liquid back into the crock pot and taste for salt and pepper. Let it cook an additional 15 minutes. 

Meanwhile make the Caribbean salsa: combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper. refrigerate salsa until ready to serve.
