Pork tenderloin with parsley and cream cheese

I am pretty new into this slow cooking.
You can't buy slow cookers in the stores where i live and almost every one in my social circle asks me: "What is a slow cooker?" and looks at me like as if I am talking spanish (or some other language they don't know.

So far i have only tried 3 things ind my slow cooker. A paleo roast found at the Civilized Caveman Cooking, a whole chicken stuffed with some prunes and apples and yesterday a Pork tenderloin.
When searching the net it is almost impossible to find Danish recipes for slow cooking. So I use a whole lot of time searchins pinterest and all the wonderful recipes..

But most times i must realize that i an not use the recipe, either because I can not buy the ingredient in Denmark (mostly the processed ones) or because there is tomato in the recipe. My 5 yo son is allergic to tomatoes.
Of course I can find ways to sub the processed ingredients by making cream of soups my self etc. but then the whole purpose of slow cooking disappears. I want slow cooking to be an easy way of cooking healthy meals for my family.

Right now I am on maternity leave and now i have the time to practice. When I get back to work it would be so great just to start the slow cooker in the morning and come home to a house with scents of cooking...

Haha I guess that you think I am crazy. But to me this is realy a whole new way of cooking and i am so amazed of all the wonderful blogs I read online about it :)

Dear fellow bloggers and kind readers. Please if you know of a recipe online that meet my criteria:

  • Easy to prep. 
  • No tomatoes or mushrooms
  • No processed food (or very little like soy sauce, food coloring etc.)
  • Only a little amount of wheat (pasta, flour etc.)
Then I would love to see the recipe. Please share it with me.
I will be trying out the most interesting of them and giving a review here at my blog :)

And now for my Pork Tenderloin with Pasley
This was so easy to make and the taste was fabulous!

You'll need:
1 pork tenderloin
1/2 cup of chopped parsley
1/4 cup of cream cheese
salt and pepper

1 onion and 1/3 cup of water

Cut open the Tenderloin
Season with salt and pepper
Put on the chopped parsley and cream cheese
Bind the tenderloin together and cook
Slice the onion and put it in the slow cooker.
Pour in the water and put the tenderloin on top of the onions
Cook for 6 hours on low.

Use the broth to make a delicious gravy and serve with potatoes or vegetables.

You want the recepe for the sauce too?
Of course you do!

Gravy:
2 T of flour
1 T butter softned
The broth from the slow cooker
The onions from the slow cooker (blend them)
1 cup of cream
salt and pepper
and maybe some of the water from your potatoes or vegetables.

Mix the flour and butter
Bring the broth and cream to boil and and stir in the butter/flour
If it is to thick ad some blended onions and water from your potatoes
Add salt and pepper to taste.
If you want a brown grawy, use a little gravy coloring.




I hope you enjoyed the recipe and that you will share your best slow cooker recipes with me.
Thank you.
