Slow Cooker Pork and Lentil Curry

My experimentation with reinventing take out at home- healthy and EASY- continues! I am especially obsessed with Indian food these days. Yesterday’s dreary cold weather here in Brooklyn was calling for me to break the slow cooker back out. I had boneless pork chops and wanted to do something different with them. Thursday is  a late day for us because of after school activities  so dinner is always as rush and we are really trying to avoid take out during the week. The slow cooker to the rescue. Checking out what I already had in the pantry, I decided to make a Slow Cooker Pork and Lentil Curry.

Don’t have a slow cooker yet or not sure if you need one? You do! Imagine throwing everything into a pot in the morning and having dinner made? I couldn’t live without mine

TIP:  If you are looking to get a slow cooker, buy one that is programmable in the biggest size you can! Bigger is always better. You can always make less , but having the option to feed large crowds or to double recipes to freeze for a second dinner is everything! I love my All Clad  7 quart from Amazon
