Slow-Cooked Chipotle Pork Loin
This preparation is slightly spicy and lean and delicious. Would work equally well on beef or chicken.
Paired with the garlic cauliflower purée below, it’s a hearty-feeling quick meal.

Slow-Cooked Chipotle Pork Loin
For the meat
2 lb. pork loin
1-2 chipotles + 1-2 Tbsp. adobo
1.5 Tbsp. cumin
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. onion powder
2 Tbsp. Kosher salt
30 cracks black pepper
1/2 cup broth or stock
Combine spices in a small bowl. Chop the chipotle and rub it, along with the adobo, on the pork. Sprinkle the spice mix over all sides.
Transfer to your slow cooker, add the stock, and cook on low 8 hours. Serve over cauliflower purée.
For the cauliflower
1 head cauliflower
4 cloves garlic
1.5-2 Tbsp. butter
Splash some sort of liquid (I used almond milk)
2 huge pinches salt
40 cracks black pepper
Fill a large pot with about half an inch water. Put over high heat.
De-stem and chop the cauliflower. Toss into the pot, add a lid, and steam 8 minutes.
Drain and add to your blender or food processor along with the raw garlic, butter, milk, salt & pepper. Blend until smooth.
The pork serves 4-5; the cauliflower serves 3-4

Visited The Cloisters today with a fellow Nerd and rucked Fort Tryon Park a bit.
The Cloisters is a huge castle thing in the middle of the woods up at the northern almost tip of Manhattan. The museum was built in 1938 – basically to hold 1 guys’ collection of European Medieval religious art and artifacts. The collection spans both Romanesque and Gothic style art (including that famous unicorn tapestry) and architecture, including parts of 4 monasteries/abbeys, and recreations of historical gardens.

This is all set in the backdrop of Fort Tryon Park – 67 acres of “wild New York” (natural NY habitat – hilly, rocky and covered in trees) park created around the time the Cloisters was built (both by Rockefeller). The park was full of dogs & joggers and is said to be the best hiking in the city. More
