Caribbean Pork with Pineapple
- 350 grams boneless pork loin (approximately 12 ounces)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp canola oil, (I used groundnut oil)
- 1 green bell pepper, seeds removed and chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small chilli pepper, seeds removed and minced
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger or grated ginger
- 1 can sliced pineapple in juice
- 1 large tomato, seeds removed and diced
- 1/2 cucumber, seeds removed, peeled and diced (I swapped the cucumber and instead used half of a courgette)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 cooking spray
- 1 large onion, chopped
- Trim all visible fat from the meat.
- Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
- Then toss with flour to coat (use a plastic freezer bag and shake, easiest method and no mess).
- Generously coat a skillet with cooking spray and set over a medium-high heat.
- I added a tbsp of groundnut oil as the meat was sticking to the pan.
- Brown the pork, turning it to colour all sides, takes about 5 minutes.
- When done transfer meat to a plate.
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- When heated saute the onion, green pepper, garlic and chilli pepper until onion is translucent, takes about 4 minutes.
- Return meat to the pan and add 1 cup of water, worcestershire sauce, ginger, salt and black pepper.
- Drain liquid from pineapple into the pan.
- Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- (I cooked mine on low for close to an hour to make the meat tender and soft).
- Stack the pineapple slices and cut into about 8 sections.
- Add pineapple, tomato, cucumber to the meat.
- Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve over fluffy rice.
