Instructions
1. Begin by preheating your slow cooker. Set it to low heat.
2. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and lightly golden.
3. Place the pork loin in the slow cooker and top with the cooked onion and garlic. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable stock, white wine, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the pork loin in the slow cooker.
5. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is cooked through and tender.
6. When the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice it into 1/2-inch thick slices.
7. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Place the parsley, sage, Parmesan cheese and any remaining cooking liquid from the slow cooker in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the sauce is smooth.
8. Place the sliced pork loin on a platter and top with the sauce. Serve and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
– For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
