    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 🙂

      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.

      Thank you, It's in the slow cooker. I have time to clean the kitchen, set the table and relax before my guest come.

      Are the lentils from a can or dried?

      If they are dried, do you soak them first?
