pork butt slow-cooked with rosemary and fennelNote: This recipe is pretty much a direct take-off of the recent pork butt recipe published in the Esquire April 2007 issue, which featured "recipes for men." I don't want to rip them off, so visit their site and check it out, but I decided to do this recipe for men the women's way -- in a slow cooker. Rub a bone-in pork butt all over with raw garlic, rosemary, and dried fennel seeds. Coat the inside of the slow cooker with a quality oil and put a couple of rosemary sticks down on the bottom to make a bed for the pork butt. Slow cook for 8 hours. I grow my own rosemary, so I used the fresh stuff, and it worked great. I assume that if you use the dried stuff, you will not need the bedding of rosemary, since dried herb is generally more potent. Experiment!
