Asian Peanut Pork (A Year of Slow Cooking)

This is another recipe from crockpot365.com.

Asian Peanut Pork:

1.5-2lbs pork tenderloin
1 onion, sliced in rings
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (garnish; optional)
1 lime, cut in wedges (garnish; optional)

Use a 4-6 quart crockpot. Put onion slices into the bottom of your crockpot. Put the pork on top. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, and peanut butter. No need to stir--the peanut butter needs to melt before you can do so. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-6. The pork will be more tender the longer you cook it. 1 hour before serving, flip the meat over in the crockpot to allow the other side to soak up the peanutbuttery goodness. Garnish with chopped peanuts, and serve with lime wedges.

My Thoughts:
As with all my crock pot meals, this cooked a little longer than the directions say. It was still excellent! I would reccomend putting the peanut butter in the microwave for a little while to start the melting process, then mix all the ingredients together and pour it over the top of the pork. I just threw everything in the crock like the directions say to, and I got globs of peanut butter and brown sugar. Yummy ... but probably not the way it's intended to be. That would be my only change! This was delicious!

Sarah's Star Rating: **** 4 out of 5 (because of the globby peanut butter and brown sugar)
