I love dijon so I used this in a glaze that a pork roast cooked in all day.
It came out delicious and I'll be making this again for sure! I used a combination of recipes I found and added a few things myself.
1/2 C. Dijon mustard
1 TBL coarse-grain mustard
1 TBL red wine vinegar
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp thyme
potatoes, cut
carrots, cut
onion, sliced
2 lb boneless pork roast
1/2 C. chicken broth
2 TBL white wine
Combine all the glaze ingredients, set aside. Place the potatoes and veggies in a large crock-pot, place the roast on top and pour the broth and wine over. Lastly, pour the mustard glaze over roast and veggie. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
ready to slow cook
