Thai Pork with Peanut Sauce

One 2 lb boneless pork loin, trimmed of fat and cut into 4 pieces
2 large red bell peppers seeded and cut into strips 
1/3 cup prepared teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter


For serving (optional):
1/2 cup chopped green onions (white part and some of the green)
1/4 cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts
2 limes, cut to make 8-12 wedges


1) Coat the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Put the pork, bell peppers, teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and garlic in the cooker. Cover and cook on LOW until the pork is fork tender, 8-9 hours.

2) Remove the pork from the cooker and coarsely chop. (For picky eaters that don't like veggies, blend up the remaining liquid and peppers with an immersion blender). Add the peanut butter to the liquid in cooker; stir well to dissolve the peanut butter and mix with the liquid to make the sauce. Return the pork to the sauce and toss to coat the meat evenly.

3) Serve in shallow bowls over hot jasmine rice and sprinkle each serving with some of the green onions and peanuts. Pass the lime wedges.
