Always on the lookout for another tasty crockpot recipe, in trying this recipe, I was attracted by C. Barber's comment that "The pork and vegetables in this dish taste best when cooked slowly. The meat becomes so tender you can tear it with a fork." Sounded good to me! And I was not disappointed. The recipe I have posted here has been adapted from C. Barber's recipe in Prevention Healthy Cooking's 'Eat Up, Slim Down: Tried-and-true recipes and tips from real weight-loss winners' by Jane Kirby and David Joachim. Vary the vegetables - and adjust the quantity of garlic - to suit your taste preferences.
