Slimming Eats Slow Cooked Chinese Style Pork Tenderloin - gluten free, dairy free

There is something about the cold months that makes us use the slow cooker more and more, right?

I suppose we are more likely to make stew and casserole dishes in the winter months, whereas it's all about the salads in the summer.

This delicious slow cooker dish uses pork tenderloin and asian inspired seasoning to create a delicious dish packed with flavour. It's a family favorite and one I come back to make again and again.

It really can be served with anything, but as with any asian inspired dish, we prefer it with some quickly stir fried veggie and steamed white jasmine rice or you could serve with my Roasted Cauliflower rice.

It would go just as well though with my Perfect Chips.

As for the optional Chinese five spice. I have made it with and without (I didn't have any last time I made this), and both versions taste amazing. So if you like it add it, if not leave it out.

For a gluten free version of this, you would need to find a gluten free Hoisin Sauce, most are made with regular soy sauce.

This Hoisin sauce however is gluten free:

Sweet Mandarin Gluten Free Hoisin Sauce

I also always use enough pork tenderloin to serve a family of four and give me a little bit left over to freeze. That way I have some on hand for quick meals for busy days.
