Rosemary Pork tenderloin in Crock-Pot.


 Here's a nice recipe done in the crock-pot. We got everything ready at night, turned the crock-pot on and left it for 6 hours on low. Today, we turned it on again to warm up for about 2 hours. It was delicious!



For the Marinade
  • 1 clove garlic in the marinade used for the pork
  • pork tenderloin - enough for 2 people
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup red wine

Start by marinating the pork tenderloin (sliced up) in the wine, vinegar and garlic for about an hour. When marinaded, remove the marinade, lightly fry the tenderloin cuts in a pan with olive oil and add everything (including the left over marinade) to the crock-pot, set it on high until it warms up and then turn it back to low, letting it cook for the night with the rest of the ingredients.


    • 4 medium-small potatoes cut up
    • 1 onion in half
    • rosemary
    • thyme
    • bay leaf- crushed and spread out
    • water
    • olive oil - enough to cover the surface
    • 1 clove garlic in the potatoes



 Here's the result. Pair it with a homemade salad and use the sauce from the crock-pot as a dressing.  The pork tenderloin is so juicy, soft and just melts in your mouth. The taste of vinegar is not overpowering, it adds a great taste to the meat and potatoes.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

    1. After i fried the pork lightly, i took the oil left in the pan, as well as the marinade and added it to the crockpot with the rest of the ingredients, including the cut up potatoes, turned the crockpot on high to warm up and then back to low. In total the potatoes were cooking for about 8 hours but it ended up being a bad batch that just didn't want to get cooked :S
