I am a huge lentils and pork chops fan, so I decided to put them together in a lentil stew over white rice. It was simple to make and tasted delicious. I know, not very original, nevertheless, this is a great autumn dish 
.
Ingredients
(4 servings)
½ pound lentils, rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 pork chops
2 cups chicken broth
1 carrot, sliced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove, minced
½ cup chopped onion
1 scallion, chopped
¼ cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 large potato, peeled and diced
Salt and pepper
Fresh cilantro
White rice and hogao for serving
Directions
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Add the onions, garlic, scallions and red pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 6 minutes or until onions are translucent.
2. In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients except the potatoes, cilantro, salt and black pepper.
3. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Add the potatoes and cook for 30 more minutes.
4. Stir in cilantro and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

At the beginning you say to cook until golden brown, do you mean the pork chops? Then do you put the pork chops in slow cooker with all other ingredients including cooked onions and red bell pepper?
It sounds very good. I have guest tomorrow and am planning on making this dish.
Hi Ticha,
I corrected the recipe. Sorry about that
Yes, you add the pork chops, onions and bell pepper to the slow cooker. Thank you!
Hi Erica,
Thank you, It’s in the slow cooker. I have time to clean the kitchen, set the table and relax before my guest come.
