Keto Slow Cooked Pork and Peppers
This low carb slow-cooked pork makes a deliciously warming Keto dinner recipe. Our easy Keto stew is prepared with diced pork, juicy bell peppers, aromatic garlic and scallions, fragrant coriander, and a sweet and tangy broth of tomato, maple-flavored syrup, tamari sauce, and chicken stock. This warming stew is prepared in one pot and simply left to cook slowly on the stove until the sauce is reduced and the pork is tender.
Can I Make This in a Crockpot?
We have cooked our Keto pork recipe slowly over the stove in a Dutch oven. You may cook the recipe in a crockpot/slow cooker if preferred. You can pan fry the peppers and pork to brown first, then add all the ingredients to the crockpot, cooking on low for 6-8 hours. The pork should be tender and piping hot through.
Serving Suggestions?
This warming Keto stew is perfect served alongside some cauliflower rice. You could prepare a portion of rice separately or even stir the rice into the stew to heat through in the last minutes of cooking to soak up the juices. Alternatively, you can serve over some miracle noodles or zucchini spaghetti. Be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
