    Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Vegetables in a serving dish..

    My first complete meal in a Slow Cooker was a breeze. There were enough for 4 people, with plenty of juices, chunky veg, and thick cuts of Pork Loins. You can use any vegetables, but do not overfill the pot, especially with liquid as the steam from the cooking falls back into the pot, giving you lots of juicy gravy.

    Why You Will Like This Recipe.

    • It's full of delicious vegetables which can be swapped over each time to make the recipe.
    • It's comforting and cozy, especially on a cold frosty day.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    This is just an overview of the ingredients I used, with possible alternatives and why I may have used them. See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and quantities.

    Ingredients for Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Vegetables.
    • Pork Tenderloin Medallions - I used four good sized pieces, cut thickly.
    • Carrots - Any size will do. If the skins are clean enough there is no need to peel them.
    • Swede or Turnip - You only need half. Use the rest for making soup.
    • Potatoes - Any firm potato is fine. You can leave the skins on if you wish. For this recipe, I decided to peel them.
    • Brown Sauce - Choose a nice thick tasty brand, it adds so much more flavour to the dish.
    • Parsnips - Not to everyone's taste, but we like them.
    • Stock Cube - A Vegetable or Chicken stock cube is fine.
    • Leek - Just a small amount is fine. They are a little sweeter than onions. If you like leeks, add more, if not replace them with a small onion.

    Step by Step Instructions

    Prepare your slow cooker according to the manufacturer's instructions. For this recipe, I am using a 3.5L Cooker with a Sear and Stew inner pot. Unfortunately, the inner pot does not work on my Induction hob.

    Chopped Mixed Vegetables on a green chopping board.

    Step 1: Finely chop the Leek, then peel and slice the potatoes into thick rounds. The rest of the vegetables can be chopped into thick chunks.

    Frying Leeks and Pork Medallions.

    Step 2: Sweat the chopped Leeks in a small pan over medium heat, taking care not to burn them. Tip: Cover the Leeks with a small sheet of baking parchment to help keep the steam in.

    Step 3: Sear the Pork Loin Medallions over high heat for a couple of minutes, using the same pan as you cooked the Leeks.

    Layering the vegetables in the slow cooker.

    Step 4: Layer the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the pot, followed by the rest of the chopped vegetables. Crumble the stock cube over the top followed by the brown sauce. There's no need to mix at this stage.

    Step 5: Finally add the cooked Leeks over the top.

    Mixed Vegetables in a slow cooker with Pork Loins on the top.

    Step 6: Place the seared Pork Tenderloin Medallions over the top of the vegetables.

    Step 7: If using a Sear and Stew inner pot, carefully pour sufficient boiling water into the pot until it begins to cover the vegetables. NOTE: Take care not to pour boiling water into a cold Ceramic pot as it could crack. Use cold water instead, although the cooking time will take a little longer.

    Slow Cooker filled with Vegetables.

    Turn the slow cooker on high and place the lid on top. Cook for approx 4 hours. After 2 hours check to see how the vegetables and Pork Medallions are doing. Depending on how chunky you chopped the vegetables, and how thick the Pork is, the meal could be ready to eat by now. If not, leave it to cook for a further hour or two.

    At this point, you can also test for seasoning. If needed add a little salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked, if you are not quite ready to eat, turn the cooker down to low.

    Dish of Pork and Vegetables.

    This recipe produces a thin gravy that is light and tasty. You could mop up the juices with some homemade Easy Rosemary Focaccia. If there is too much liquid, pour off the excess and freeze it for making soup or where vegetable stock is needed.

    Storage

    Store in the fridge in a suitable container for a couple of days. The vegetables and stock will freeze well, but I doubt the Pork will.

    Serve With

    This is a hearty meal, especially when served with homemade bread, but if you have room, try a slice of No Bake White Chocolate Cheesecake or this No Bake Biscoff Cheesecake.

    Cook's Tips

    • Tip 1 - For added flavour sear the Pork Medallions and sweat the chopped Leek before adding them to the slow cooker. My Sear and Stew inner pot does not work on an induction hob, so I used a normal pan.
    • Tip 2: Take care when adding boiling water to a ceramic pot as it could crack.
