Tuscan Style Slow Roasted Pork
The Flavors of Tuscany....
This Tuscan Style Slow Roasted Pork is, without a doubt, the best pork roast recipe ever. You can buy sandwiches on the streets off carts in Italy with this pork, which I've had in Viterbo, north of Rome. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare and six hours to cook. I usually just throw it in a crockpot and forget about it. The key is using a fatty cut of pork, like shoulder or butt.
