Pork Roast with Mushroom Tomato Gravy

This recipe for Pork Roast with Mushroom Tomato Gravy is from a cookbook I was asked to review, The 163 best Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes. This book by Judith Finlayson is published by Robert Rose Inc. I am probably like most of the people that visit my blog – a collector of cookbooks! So you can just imagine how delighted I was to receive a free one! All opinions expressed are my own.

This recipe for Pork Roast with Mushroom Tomato Gravy is so tasty and you can’t beat the convenience of using a slow cooker. A little work earlier in the day for the huge pay off by not rushing to prepare dinner.  The pork roast is fork tender and medley of vegetables makes a very flavourful sauce. I can hardly wait to try some more slow cooker recipes from this book. This one was delicious.
