- Mix these ingredients together and set a side.
- Put the pork loin steaks into the slow cooker pot.
- Now pour over the mixture we made earlier and rub it into the steaks.

- Tamari x 2 tbsps
- Coconut sugar or brown sugar x 1 tsp
- Rice x 300g
- Chicken stock or water x 600mls
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method for the onion rice
- Peel and slice the onions.
- Put a frying pan onto a high heat on the hob and add oil to the base of the pan.
- When the pan is hot add in the onions and fry until they are golden brown.
- Pour in the tamari or soy sauce and add in the coconut sugar or brown sugar too.
- Fry until everything is sticky and caramelised.
- Add in the carrot and fry for a further minute or so.
- Measure the rice and put it into the other saucepan.
- Place the rice under the tap and add water.
- Move the rice around in the pan.
- The water should start to discolour with the starch from the rice.
- Pour through the colander and repeat the process once or twice more.
- By the end of the process the water should start to look more clear.
- Put the saucepan onto the hob and pour over the bone broth, chicken stock, vegetable stock or water.
- There must be enough to cover the rice and then two centimetres above the top of where the rice sits in the pan.
- Sprinkle in salt to your tastes.
- Put the pan onto a high heat on the hob and put the lid on.
- Let the pan come to the boil.
- When the pan is boiling turn the heat down to a medium heat.
- Leave the pan to simmer until all of the liquid has disappeared.
- It will take a little while to cook the rice so please be patient.
- On my hob it takes a good 20 – 30 minutes but other hobs my be different.
- Once the liquid has disappeared remove from the heat.
- Be careful towards the end as the rice can sometimes stick to the base of the pan.
- Towards the end be sure to check by putting the spoon in the rice to see if there is any liquid left.
- If there is no liquid fluff it with the spoon.
- However if there is liquid put the lid back on and leave for a further few minutes.
- Continue this process until all the liquid disappears.
- Then serve with the smokey pork chops and enjoy.
