What a tasty and tender roast! I did not use any lemon as last time we used lemon peel/rind in a slowcooker, the veggies were inedible. Even without the lemon, everything else turned out great! If your pork roast has a small fat cap on it, i suggest when browning the roast, really let that fat cap crisp up before placing in slow cooker, and place roast with the fat cap up.

Loved the recipe but doubled the broth and vegetables and instead of using garlic cloves I used garlic powder instead and rubbed the roast with it before browning in EVOO. I omitted the lemon entirely due to past reviews of it tasting bitter and then put all of the veggies in a bowl and tossed with parsley. It was fantastic. I aslo made some garlic bread to soak up the gravy. Nice and easy for a meal without a ton of prep. Great for the mom on the go.

My wife and I are new to the Crock world but this was fun and easy. The pork turned out great but the veggies were off a little. I believe it was the lemon that got us. We tried 8 thin slices 3x1/2 of lemons. We will do this again and try it with zest, or not use Lemon at all. Awesome altogether though.

Great easy meal! I was unsure as to what you meant by lemon peel, if you meant lemon zest or, the actual peel of the lemon, so I just sliced the lemon thin and put 8 slices in the crock pot. I think you nust have meant lemon zest, because the slices made the veggies around them slightly bitter. But in all a great recipe!
