Thai Pork Chops

Popular Oriental flavors of lime, peanut, soy and ginger season this no-fuss pork chop dish. Assemble ingredients in the slow-cooker and let chops cook undisturbed all day. Accompany chops with hot cooked rice, to soak up the spicy sauce, Chinese Cabbage Salad and warm flour tortillas.

4 boneless pork chops, 1-inch thick
3/4 cup chunky-style salsa
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
