Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) seasoned salt
1 tsp (5 mL) garlic-pepper blend
2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
4 boneless pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick (about 1 lb/500 g)
1 cup (250 mL) ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots
4 small red potatoes, cut in half
1 onion, cut into thin wedges
1 small yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh basil

Steps

1

In very small bowl, mix salt and garlic-pepper blend. Sprinkle half of seasoning mixture over pork. In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in oil about 4 minutes, turning once, just until browned.
2

Spray 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place pork chops in slow cooker; top with carrots, potatoes and onion.
3

Cover, cook on Low heat setting 3 to 4 hours.
4

In medium bowl, mix squash, basil, remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining half of seasoning mixture; spoon on top of vegetable mixture in slow cooker. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook 10 to 15 minutes longer or until squash is crisp-tender.

Expert Tips

Tip 1
Substitution: Zucchini can be substituted for the yellow squash. Since it is cooked for a short length of time, it will maintain its bright green colour.
