Slow Cooker Saturday: Pork and Pea Curry

This recipe was a bit of an experiment because I was trying to see if I could achieve the desired flavors I wanted without using coconut milk, since so often curry recipes only call for half of the can. What am I going to do with the other half a can? I suppose I could make Pina Coladas! :) I had great success in achieving the flavors I desired by using coconut oil and greek yogurt instead. I hope you enjoy this recipe too!
