Slow cooker peanut satay pork

A tasty way to slow cook pork

I’ve always adored peanut satay, unfortunately a really indulgent peanut sauce wouldn’t be the best thing for weight-loss, so I have come up with this alternative which still tastes really good, but doesn’t have the guilt-factor!

I have used PB2 powdered peanut butter (you can buy it here on Amazon) in this, as it’s a lower fat alternative to peanut butter, and actually it blends really nicely into this sauce, but you can use regular peanut butter, it will just be a bit higher in syns if you are following Slimming World.

I didn’t add chilli into this as I was hoping the children would eat it, but I would serve with a good squeeze of sriracha you can buy it here on Amazon, or it is available and cheaper in most supermarkets) on the top, or cook it with some dried chilli flakes mixed in too.

My Recipe

Serves: 4

Syns: 1 per portion (if using PB2), 3 syns per portion with regular peanut butter

Healthy Extra:

Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin (usually around 350g), any visible fat removed
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp honey
4 tbsp PB2 or 2 tbsp peanut butter
300g mushrooms, halved
300ml hot chicken stock
3 tbsp tomato puree

Method

Chop the pork into bitesize pieces and marinade for an hour in the onion, garlic, coriander, ginger, soy sauce, lemon juice and honey
When the pork has marinaded, pop it into the slow cooker, add in the mushrooms, 200ml chicken stock and tomato puree
Use the remaining 100ml chicken stock to slowly stir into the PB2/peanut butter until it's all dissolved, then add in to the slow cooker.
Stir well, and cook on high for 4-6 hours, or low for 8-10 hours
