• 1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Combine potatoes, carrots, celery, garlic and ginger in slow cooker. Toss in half of the flour and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the bay leaves over the vegetables.

Season the pork generously with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the thyme and allspice and toss with the remaining flour to coat. Place the pork over the vegetables in the slow cooker. Add 2 cups water and the tomatoes, cover and cook on low 8 hours.
