Slow Cook Pork Hock Stew or Slow Cooked Pata is something that I look forward to during weekends, especially on chilly days. This dish is simply pork pata (or pork legs) that are slow cooked with potatoes, carrots, tomato sauce and spices. It is a perfect lunch treat that I like to have with rice or crackers.
I know that Slow Cook Pork Hock Stew tastes delicious. What really made me love this dish is its awesome texture. The pork literally melts in my mouth. Although the taste and texture are both superb, there is still this guilt feeling within me because I know that this is not the healthiest food around, but I thought that it will be okay as long as I do not eat this often. After all, I was able to do my afternoon jog today. I will just run and exercise more often then.
Another great slow cooked pork dish that deserves to be mentioned is Slow cooked pork chop with shiitake mushrooms.

I’ll be trying this recipe tomorrow! I didn’t even know I had a crack pot until I came upon this recipe and got curious with what you were talking about. I’m currently working in China and as much as I love Chinese food. (I still prefer the Chinese food in the Ph since it’s Cantonese style there.) it’s hard to find the ingredients for most of the Filipino dish I miss so I try to make do with what recipe I can use with what ingredients I can find here. Is the slow cooker set to low the whole time or something else? I just needed clarification on that. Btw, I tried your pork BBQ recipe and my other foreign colleagues loved it! Where I am is mostly Sichuan style cooking so everything is spicy.

Jan, that is a good question. Set the slow cooker to high for this recipe. If you want to set it to low, add a couple of hours more.
