Thai Peanut Pork

I was introduced to a facebook group called The Crock Pot Recipe Exchange. I LOVE my crockpot and now I get access to all these great recipes. One of the best parts is that other people who have tried the recipe leave comments about it. So you can get some tips and tricks before you even make it!

Tonight is Thai Peanut Pork ....although I'm making it with chicken instead and instead of using red pepper flakes, I have actual dried red peppers. I'm going to just throw a couple of those in! I also am going to use crunchy PB instead of creamy (b/c it's cheaper than garnishing it with peanuts). This looks GREAT. One comment that many people made is that there isn't enough sauce. So I'm going to double that. Here's the recipe!


Ingredients
2 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
4 (8 ounce) boneless pork loin chops or (just use a pork roast about 4 lbs but double the other ingredients)
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced

Garnish with:
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
2 limes, cut into wedges

Directions
1.Coat a slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the bell pepper strips and pork chops into the slow cooker. Pour the teriyaki sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and garlic over the pork chops.
2.Cover and cook on Low until the pork is very tender, 8 to 9 hours. Once tender, remove the pork from the slow cooker, and whisk in the peanut butter until smooth. Return the pork to the slow cooker, and cook 10 minutes more.
3.Serve with Rice or noodles.Pour into a serving dish and sprinkle with green onions and peanuts to garnish. Decorate with lime wedges to serve.
