This is my low fat version of the ever so popular Pulled Pork sandwich. I know it is not usually served with peppers mixed in, but I wanted to add some veggies into the dish and it worked well.

For the pulled pork:

Method

Spray a small saucepan with Frylight/Pam spray and add the onion and garlic and cook until golden.

Add all other ingredients for the barbecue sauce and bring to the boil, simmer for approx 15 mins, until it reduces down slightly and then blend with a hand blender or food processor.

Add onions and peppers to the slow cooker, add the pork tenderloin and pour over the sauce and cook on the high (6 hour) setting or you can cook on the low (longer setting if you prefer).

When the pork tenderloin is cooked through, using two forks, pull the pork into shreds. When fully shredded, mix around into the remaining barbecue sauce.
