Instructions
1
Prepare and Marinate Pork
In a bowl, mix together the white wine, lime juice, water, olive oil, thyme, cilantro, black pepper, marjoram, and dill. Pour this marinade into a large resealable plastic bag, add the pork loin, press out as much air as you can, and seal it up. Give the bag a little shake to make sure the pork is fully coated, then pop it into a bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you can.
2
Sear the Pork
When you’re ready to cook, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Take the pork out of the marinade and gently shake off any extra liquid—don’t worry about the herbs stuck to the meat, leave those on. Sear the pork in the hot pan, browning it all over; this should take about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once browned, transfer the pork to your slow cooker.
3
Add Broth and Veggies
Pour the chicken broth over the pork, then tuck in the potatoes, carrots, and onion around it. Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours or until the pork is tender and everything is cooked through.
