I’m a stay-at-home mom, and the slow cooker helps me create dishes like this pork with a curry and cumin rub. I add a splash of coconut milk. —Beverly Peychal, Waukesha, Wisconsin

Great recipe. Loved the spice combination. Doubled the amount of squash and carrots and added siracha for additional spice.
