APPLE CIDER PORK ON CIABATTA ROLLS

I have been cooking a lot of poultry lately and was in the mood for some beef, so I asked my hubby to bring home a roast. What he brought was a bone-in pork roast. hmmm.... I happened to have some fresh cider and thought that might make a nice marinade for pork. Then decided I'd rather just put it in the crock pot and forget about it. The following is the recipe I came up with for a quick, low fuss meal on a busy day. I had some ciabatta rolls on hand and a bunch of blue cheese. The combination was a smash! Feel free to mix up the cheese and bread combos to add some variety. 

APPLE CIDER PORK

2-3lb lean pork roast

2 cups fresh apple cider

½ cup soy sauce

2 TB fresh ginger, minced or grated

½ lg onion, coarsely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced

Ciabatta rolls, Baguettes or other hard roll

Blue cheese, feta cheese or your favorite cheese

Place all ingredients in a crock pot. Set on high for 5 hours or more or until pork is tender and separates easily.

Pull pork off bones, separating and removing any fat.

Slice buns and toast lightly.

Fill bun with shredded meat and top with cheese of choice.

You may strain the juice and use for dipping if desired. 

The leftovers also freeze well. :) This would be a great recipe to do in bulk in a roaster for a crowd.
