Crockpot Sazon Pork Chops with Peppers, Olives and Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4 center cut bone-in pork chops, trimmed of excess fat (with bone about 32 oz)
• 1 1/2 tsp sazon (I used my homemade recipe) (coriander, oregano, turmeric, cumin, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper)  Can also add a bit of saffron.
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• kosher salt and black pepper to taste, to taste
• 2 tbsp all purpose unbleached flour (for gluten free use sweet rice flour)
• 8 oz yukon gold potato, peeled and diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup alcapparado (or green pimento olives)
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
• 2 dried bay leaves

Directions:

Rub the pork chops with crushed garlic, then add sazon, cumin, 1/4 tsp kosher salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the chops and add to the slow cooker. Top with the potatoes and peppers.

Pour the tomato sauce and 1/4 cup water over the pork. Add the garlic, alcapparado (or olives), 1/4 cup cilantro and bay leaves. Cook until the potatoes are tender, for me that was on LOW 8 hours. Transfer the pork chops to a platter and remove the bay leaves.

Add the remaining fresh cilantro to the sauce and stir. To serve place 1 chop on each plate with 3/4 cups sauce and vegetables.
