Slow Cooker Braciole & A Trip Down Memory Lane

• tomato sauce Basic
• 2 cans crushed tomatoes
• 3 cloves garlic smashed
• 1 handful fresh basil leaves torn, we keep it rustic
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• olive oil
• 4 pieces meat braciole
• 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup pecorino romano grated
• 2 tablespoons garlic and herb seasoning I use Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic
• 1 shallot large, diced
• 6 tablespoons olive oil divided

1. Slow cooker set to low for 5 1/2 hours. Start by mixing all the ingredients for the sauce in the slow cooker. Allow the sauce to start cooking while you get everything else ready.
2. Lets start the breadcrumb mixture (this is where you can get creative and throw in what you love). In a small bowl toss together the breadcrumbs, cheese and the garlic & herb seasoning. In a small saute pan over medium heat add 3 Tbsp oil and the diced shallot, cook until softened. Add the shallots along with the oil to the breadcrumb mixture and mix until moistened.
3. Lay the pieces of meat out flat and put a layer of the breadcrumb mixture on each. Depending on large the pieces are you may have a little extra breadcrumbs. Roll each piece and secure with a few toothpicks.
4. In the same saute pan you cooked the shallots it, over medium high heat, add 3 Tbsp of olive oil and sear each side of the braciole. Once browned on each side place into the slow cooker. The meat will be falling apart tender and the sauce fantastic from all those wonderful flavors and slow cooking!
5. And, just like in Positano, I served mine over a simple mashed potatoes
6. (potatoes, garlic, butter, vegetable broth, milk, salt and pepper).
