Pineapple Pork Loin Recipe
Pineapple pork loin is a tasty tropical dish that combines succulent pork loin, sweet pineapple, and a flavorful tomato sauce. Serve it to surprise your guests with exotic and traditional flavors.
Instructions
- Start by heating a bit of butter in a pan over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and starts to sizzle, place the pork loin slices and let them brown evenly on both sides. This step is crucial to seal in the meat juices and ensure perfect cooking.
- Meanwhile, in another pan, sauté the pineapple slices until they become lightly caramelized on the edges, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- After sautéing the pineapple, set it aside and use the same cooking base to sauté the finely chopped onion until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the canned peeled tomatoes to the onion and let it all cook for a few minutes until the flavors meld together, creating a deliciously aromatic sauce.
- Reposition the meat in the pan with the sauce, laying a sautéed pineapple slice on top of each slice of pork loin.
- After a final minute of cooking to allow the flavors of the pineapple and the sauce to penetrate the pork loin, the dish is ready to be served.
Notes
To add a unique twist to the recipe, sprinkle the pineapple slices with a pinch of cinnamon before sautéing them; this will give the dish a spicy note that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the pineapple and the succulence of the pork loin.
