Puerco Bravo (Spicy Spanish Braised Pork and Potatoes) with Lemon Aioli

This slow cooker recipe takes much of its cues from the classic Spanish dish patatas bravas. With patatas bravas, potatoes are pan fried before being drizzled with a combination of sauces: a garlicky aioli and a spicy red pepper sauce. In this recipe, potatoes and tender pieces of pork are slow cooked together in a spicy red pepper sauce and then finished with a tangy lemon aioli. The resulting dish is savory, tangy, and delicious.
