Cheeks in red wine in Crock Pot

 

Today we bring you a spectacular Crok Pot recipe, one of those that you can make on special occasions and that you know never fail. The cheeks are a dish that we used to make in a normal pot, over low heat and being aware of them, but in our slow cooker they come out just as rich and it is much more comfortable. Take note!
 
Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 4 pork cheeks
- 2 carrots
- 1/2 onion
- 1 medium potato
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 7 oz of red wine
- 5.3 oz of crushed tomato
- 1.8 oz of meat broth
- Olive oil
- Black pepper
- Salt
 
Recipe:
- In a saucepan, pour the wine and let it cook over medium heat until it reduces its volume more or less by half. Reservation.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on the cheeks.
- Brown them in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Reserve them.
- Wash, peel and cut the carrots, garlic and onion into small squares. 

- Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into slices and then in half.
- Add the carrot, onion, garlic, tomato, meat broth and a pinch of salt to the Crock Pot bucket.
- Place the potatoes on top and then the cheeks.
- Pour over the red wine.
- Cook on LOW for 7 hours.
- Take out the cheeks and potatoes and reserve them on a plate.

Bon appétit!
