Sweat & Nourish

We love a winter slow-cooker! Especially with the weather we’ve been having lately (the leak in our roof leaves no room to stress about cooking dinner). This pork is juicy, sweet, rich and pretty damn spicy – if you don’t like spice this one isn’t for you sorry.

If you do want to make this a little less spicy than feel free to tweak the recipe a little! Use less jalapeno and sriracha, stir through some coconut milk or sour cream.
