Balsamic Pork Tenderloin & Sweet Potatoes
- 1 pork tenderloin 400g/ 14oz
- ½ cup chicken stock
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ red onion sliced
- 1 sweet potato cut into large chunks 4-6 cups
Strawberry Salsa
- 2 cups diced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons red onion finely diced
Place the onion slices on the bottom of the slow cooker. Arrange the pork tenderloin and sweet potato chunks over top.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and garlic. Pour over the pork and sweet potatoes.
Cook on the lowest setting for 6-8 hours.
Remove the sweet potato from the slow cooker using tongs, and place in a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher and taste. If you find the flavor too intense, try adding ¼ cup of greek yogurt to mellow it out.
Assemble the strawberry salsa and serve over the pork, with extra sauce from the crock pot.
