Slow Cooker Pork with Peanut Sauce - wheat free/grain free/sugar free/dairy free

Slow Cooker Pork with Peanut Sauce

If you've ever had Thai Chicken Sate, you know how wonderful Thai peanut sauce is, and this is a pretty similar version, only served over slow cooked pork.  I also used the peanut sauce to cook with the pork roast to infuse it with extra flavor.

Small Pork Roast (3-4 pounds I used a pork sirloin roast)
1 T fresh grated ginger - I know you are supposed to peel it first, but there are so many grooves and crannies in ginger that I just grate it as is, and pull out the pieces that are mostly peeling.
1 T garlic (I use the kind in the jar)
1/4 C no sugar added peanut butter.  Kirkland brand has only peanuts, peanut oil and salt as ingredients.  It separates, so I put it through my KitchenAid mixer and then stick it in the refrigerator.
1/4 C tomato sauce
3 T wheat free soy sauce or liquid aminos
3 T sugar substitute (splenda, swerve, truvia, etc.)
2 t sirachi sauce - you could substitute any hot sauce
1 C chicken stock

I should probably brown the roast before sticking it in the crockpot, but I was short on time so I didn't.

Mix all the other ingredients (see the picture to the right of ingredients just before adding chicken broth in the 2 C measuring cup, I often mix sauces in this as you can measure and mix in the same container).  Pour over the roast in the crockpot.  Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 8-9.  When ready to serve, remove the roast and let cool on a cutting board.  Meanwhile, pour the sauce into a small saucepan and boil for 10-15 min or until thickened.  Pour on top of the pork and serve (see picture at top).  The picture below is just after pouring the sauce onto the roast when it's just starting to cook.
