Boston Butt in the Crock with Lazy Sauce

As I embark on the Whole 30, 6 week challenge, I am only going to post deliciously simple, Whole 30 approved recipes, so you will have to wait a little while for some more treat recipes.

This week's recipe is a slow cooker Boston Butt and broth sauce. As you know by now I love throwing a roast in the crock pot on Sundays and having dinner made for most of the week. This recipe is no different but I've added a way to use that delicious cooking liquid. I also love using up all the left over vegetables in my refrigerator before they go bad. That method of throwing whatever you have around is what inspired me to name this broth turned sauce, Lazy Sauce.

Boston Butt in the Crock with Lazy Sauce:

Ingredients:
3.5 lb Boston Butt- preferably organic, pastured
1 1/2 cups Homemade broth or box broth will work fine (beef, chicken or vegetable)
1 large onion- rough chop
4 carrots- peeled and rough chop; Don't forget to throw in the carrot tops too, they add flavor and nutrients
3 garlic cloves- peeled
4 stalks Celery- rough chop; You can add the leaves also, another flavorful part that usually thrown away
1/2 tbs. onion powder
1/2 tbs. garlic powder
1 tbs. Oregano
1 tbs. Thyme
1 tbs. Parsley
Season with 1/2 tbs. salt and pepper

**TIP: Use whatever herbs you have, so don't worry if you don't have all of these. Also the measurements will be slightly less for a smaller Butt.

Preparation:

Put all ingredients into Crock Pot and let cook on low for 10 hrs or on high for 4-5 hrs.
Meat should practically fall apart.
Remove meat from Crock Pot and remove any bones, or sticks from carrot greens, from the liquid.
Store meat in air tight container until ready to serve.

Lazy Sauce:

Preparation:

Once meat, bones and sticks from carrot greens are removed, pour liquid and vegetables into blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Heat liquid in a pot on the stove on med-low heat until sauce starts to thicken.

Serve over meat with favorite vegetable side and ENJOY!!

So easy and so delicious!
