Slow Cooker Chili Lime Pork Loin with Veggies & Spanish Rice
Servings: 6
Time: 4-8 hrs (slow cooker time)
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs pork loin
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 yellow onion
1 red onion
3 bell peppers of any color
2 packages Spanish style rice
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, honey, and vinegar into a freezer bag and mix to combine. Place pork loin into freezer bag and make sure it's covered in sauce mixture.
- Marinade overnight. Or at least 30 minutes if you forgot to do this last night.
- Chop onion and bell pepper into wedges.
- Pour entire contents of freezer bag into a slow cooker with onion & peppers.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Temperature should be between 137 to 140 degrees.
- There is also the option to grill the pork loin and saute veggies - see original recipe if this is your preference!
- Prepare Spanish style rice according to packaging.
- Slice pork loin and serve alongside rice and veggies.
TID BITS:
- The original recipe is slightly different because it is based around grilling your pork loin. If you'd rather grill than slow cook see the original recipe - i'll probably do that variation on here at some point so Josh can be happy using his grill :)
- You could also sub or add in more veggies to the slow cooker such as broccoli or cauliflower if you prefer!
- If you don't like really soft peppers - I would saute them separately and add when serving.
