Asian Peanut Butter Pork

Ingredients:

1.5-2lbs pork tenderloin
1 onion, sliced in rings
1/4 cup soy sauce (I used La Choy low sodium)
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Optional ingredients: 2 tbsp chopped peanuts and 1 lime, cut in wedges

Directions:

1. Put onion slices into the bottom of your crockpot. Put the pork on top.
2. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, and peanut butter.
3. No need to stir-the peanut butter needs to melt before you can do so.
4. 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.
5. 1 hour before serving, flip the meat over in the crockpot to allow the other side to soak up the peanut buttery goodness. Garnish with chopped peanuts, and serve with lime wedges (optional, but the lime juice mixed with the peanut butter is delicious.)
