Preparation

Step 1

In a skillet, sauté red and pearl onions in the butter till softened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place pork in slow cooker; add onions and sherry. Cover and cook on Low for about 9 hours. Remove pork from slow cooker and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing, to redistribute its juices.
