Main Dishes : Caribbean Pork with Pineapple
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt to taste
- Juice and grated rind of 1 large lime
- 3 teaspoons TABASCO® brand Habanero Sauce, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 large clove garlic
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 2 cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup rum
Season pork with salt. Combine lime juice (reserve rind for later), 2 teaspoons of the TABASCO® Habanero Sauce, and oregano and drizzle over pork; toss until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add pork and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer pork to a shallow baking dish. Add onion to skillet with drippings and place over medium heat; cook 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, broth, raisins, lime rind, and remaining 1 teaspoon TABASCO® Habanero Sauce; cook 5 minutes longer, then pour over pork.
Cover pork and bake in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine pineapple and rum in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook 5 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Spoon pineapple over top of pork and bake, uncovered, 5 minutes longer.
Makes 6 servings.
