1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 to 4 pounds), well trimmed
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 medium head cabbage (about 2 pounds), coarsely chopped
Directions
Line bottom of a 6-qt. slow cooker with 4 bacon strips.
Sprinkle all sides of roast with salt; place in slow cooker. Arrange remaining bacon over top of roast.
Cook, covered, on low 8-10 hours or until pork is tender. Add cabbage, spreading cabbage around roast. Cook, covered, 1 to 1-1/4 hours longer or until cabbage is tender.
