Delicious Herb and Mustard Crusted Roast Pork

I got this joint reduced and would normally do a slow pulled pork recipe in the slow cooker but as it was cheap I decided to do a simple roast. It was amazing I was naughty and did Yorkshire pudding with it which made it even more scrumptious. The pork was so juicy but retained…

This dish is amazing and incredibly tender. The spices don’t over power the lamb at all and they add wonderful layers of flavour. This makes enough for 4 so we have another portion to freeze (yippee). I love how you can put it in the slow cooker and it looks after itself whilst releasing yummy…
