Pork Roast with Root Vegetables

Our local grocer had another sale on pork loin last week. Big haul of meat, little price. I was getting a bit tired of Garlic Pork and Citrus Pork, yummy though they both are. Having also found radishes on sale, I was inspired to make this dish. I used scallions as you see in the photo just because I had them on hand.

2 lbs boneless pork loin
½ lb carrots, cut into large pieces
½ lb radishes, whole or halved
½ onion, quartered (3 oz)
¼ t each salt and pepper, or to taste

1. Place pork loin into the crock of a slow cooker.
2. Surround with vegetables.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours until until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
5. Remove from crock and let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing.
