Thai Pork Stew

I got this recipe from a Nashville mamas group I am a part of, and we love it! The sweet potatoes turn to complete mush, you'd never know they are the base of this meal. The recipe calls for pork tenderloin, but we normally use pork chops or steaks.

  • 2 lbs. pork tenderloin - cut in 6 pieces
  • 2 cups red bell pepper - julienned
  • 1/4 cup soy or teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce (tuong of toi vietnam - with picture of rooster)
  • 2 garlic cloves - minced
  • 2-3 sweet potatoes - cut in thirds
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • cooked white rice
  • green onions
  • peanuts
  • lime

Place pork through sweet potatoes in a slow cooker. Cover with lid and cook on low heat setting for 8 hours. Remove pork and coarsely chop. Add peanut butter to liquid in cooker and stir well. Add pork back in.

Serve stew over steamed white rice. Top with chopped green onions, peanuts and serve with lime wedges.

Bonus -- very freezer friendly!!
