Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Pork

Yum. This tastes just as you think it would: creamy, tangy and full of lovely flavours. I served this with basmati rice, roasted peanuts and cilantro as the recipes mentions, but there are so many options for altering this recipe, you could make it a million times over in a slightly different way.

Serves 6

• 1 (2 pound) pork loin
• 1 cup hoisin sauce
• 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons chili sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
• 2 cups snow peas
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup chopped green onions or cilantro
• 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
• 2-3 limes, cut into wedges
• Cooked rice or rice noodles

Lightly grease a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.  Place pork loin in slow cooker.  In a medium bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, chili sauce, ginger and garlic. Pour the teriyaki mixture over the pork loin.  Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.  Whisk the peanut butter into the juices in the slow cooker. Return the pork to the slow cooker, along with the sliced peppers and snow peas and cook for 30-60 minutes more, until vegetables are tender but still crisp. Serve over rice or noodles with green onions, peanuts and lime wedges to garnish.
