this is one of my favourite dishes. Pork so tender combined with fresh pineapple and a little bit of spice… delicious!!

ingredients:

– 1 pork tenderloin (about 450 gr)
– 1/2 fresh pineapple
– 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
– 2 tablespoons of lightbrown cane sugar
– 4 tablespoons of light soy sauce
– dry sherry
– sesam oil
– coriander, roughly chopped
– ground chili (cayenne) pepper to taste
– olive oil

directions:

– mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce with 2 tablespoons of dry sherry and 1 tablespoon of sesam oil. Put aside.

– prepare the pork. Remove all the greasy white parts from the pork tenderloin and cut into dices 1 cm by 1 cm aproximately. Put the meat into the marinade. I usually leave it there for 1 hour, but less is fine too. Drain it well and throw away the marinade.

– take a wokpan on high heat with some olive oil. Once the oil is hot, put in the meat and stir until ready. Put in the chopped garlic. After 1 minute add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir well, put in the pineapple and remove from the heat after 1 minute.

– top with coriander and chili pepper.

Serve immediately with some rice, quinoa,…

TIP: if you like to prepare this dish ahead, it’s possible but don’t add the
fresh pineapple and the coriander, leave it aside in the fridge and add it just before serving. Delicious!!!
