Crock Pot Porker Recipe

Ingredients:/b>

2 lbs. Country spare ribs 

1 14-oz. can Diced tomatoes

1 cup Cauliflower 

1 cup Sliced onions

1 cup Sliced carrots

1 cup Broccoli

2 cloves Chopped garlic

Dash Salt & pepper 

1 tsp Basil 

4 Potatoes Sliced potatoes

Start cooking early in the day so things can simmer a long while before you serve dinner.  To start out, boil the pork for 45 minutes (add a little oil to the water first).  Put the boiled pork into a crock pot (or other large pot).  Add potatoes cut into thirds, sliced onion, sliced carrots, garlic, salt and pepper to taste, cauliflower, and diced tomatoes from a can.  Put that on low for a few hours.  Slow cooking is the key with this dish.  This recipe serves four.
