Asian Peanut Butter Pork

The flavor of this Asian Peanut Butter Pork recipe reminds me a little bit of chicken satay but, the awesome part about this recipe is, you can make it in your crock pot!  Just put the meat in the crock, add the other ingredients, cook all day and you have a delicious main dish to serve with lo mein (my recipe coming soon) or fried rice!  It is a decadent dish so choose a side that is packed with veggies so you have less guilt!  Enjoy!

Asian Peanut Butter Pork (adapted from "Make It Fast, Cook It Slow" by Stephanie O'Dea)

1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 lb. pork tenderloin
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. low sodium soy sauce
3 T. white wine vinegar
3 T. water
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter

Place the onion on the bottom of a 4 or 6 qt. slow cooker that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Place the pork on top of the onion and add the remaining ingredients to the crock.  Do not worry about stirring.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.  Remove the pork from the crock pot and whisk the sauce ingredients to combine.  Slice or shred the pork roast and serve topped with the sauce!
