Instructions
- In the bottom of a 7 quart crock pot, stir together the broth, rice, garlic salt and pepper.
- Place the pork loin on a cutting board and cut off any really large chunks of fat (don't cut too much off though, or your pork will be dry!) Then, stir together the mustard, basil, salt and pepper in a small bowl, creating a wet rub. Rub half of the mixture on the exposed side of the pork. Place the pork inside the slow cooker, mustard covered side down. Rub the remaining mustard mixture on the top, exposed side of the pork. **
- Cover and cook on low until the rice has absorbed all the water and the pork is tender, about 8-10 hours. NOTES: I've had someone make this in the Instant Pot and cook for 1 hour on high pressure and say it's perfect!
- Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and transfer to a plate, covering with tinfoil to keep warm.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients (not the fresh basil!) and pour into the slow cooker, mixing around until evenly combined. Add in the spinach and stir. Cover and cook and additional 5 minutes, or until the spinach wilts.
- Once the spinach cooks, shred the pork and stir it into the slow cooker.
- Garnish with sliced fresh basil and DEVOUR.
Notes
- *If you are a smaller family (like us) I've had great success cutting the pork loin in half and then only doing half the rice!
- **You can do this all on the cutting board, some of the mustard will just come off onto it.
