Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    12 oz. boneless pork loin

    2 Tbsp. flour

    1 Tbsp. canola oil

    1 medium onion, sliced

    1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

    1 clove garlic, minced

    1 small chili pepper, seeded and minced

    1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

    1/2 tsp. ground ginger

    1 can (8 oz.) sliced pineapple in juice

    1 large tomato, seeded and diced

    1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced

    3/4 tsp. salt

    1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper


Directions

1. Trim all visible fat from meat. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss with flour to coat.

2. Generously coat deep, medium skillet with cooking spray. Set over medium-high heat. Brown meat, turning it to color on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer meat to plate.

3. Heat oil in pan. Sauté onion, green pepper, garlic and chili pepper until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Return meat to pan. Add 1 cup water, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, salt and pepper. Drain liquid from pineapple into pan. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

4. Stack pineapple slices and cut into 8 sections. Add fruit, tomato and cucumber to stew. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. This stew keeps 2 to 3 days, covered, in the refrigerator.

Makes 4 servings.

    This was FABULOUS!! I will make again. Simple, quick and easy-breezy. I would rename this recipe to: Carribean Pork w/pineapple Stir Fry. I think the "stew" turns some people off. - 3/22/09

    I just made it, DELICIOUS! (I used 2 small jalapenos for the chili pepper) And I'm not a big fan of onions, but it all tasted so well together. - 1/2/09

    Very good! We're not bell pepper people, so I left that out, added chopped baby carrots... and I skipped the cucumber, too. That seemed weird. Added a little cornstarch at the end to thicken the broth, and added some cooked brown rice, as others suggested. I will make it again! - 11/18/08

    My husband and I loved it and I will definitely serve it again. I used a jalapeno pepper and it was wonderfully spicy. The zuchini was a good substitution for cucumbers and I used a red pepper instead of green. I served it over whole wheat egg noodles since it was soupy. - 9/16/08

    Made this last night... even though I don't like pineapple, I loved this! Perfect mix of spicy and sweet! Had it over jasmine rice, so good! I'll try subbing chicken next time just to see the difference!! Thanks! - 11/20/07

    Is the sodium really that high? Where does it come from, main culprit would seem to be the Worcestshire, but I just looked and that would be 65mg for 1 tsp, so unless there is a ton of sodium in canned pineapple the number here just doesn't seem right to me. - 12/30/08

    This was an interesting new twist on pork. Very tasty. I added a can of jalapenos which made it REALLY spicy. Perhaps half a can for those less inclined to eye-watering spicy. Pineapple was an interesting addition, and I didn't add the cucumber. - 12/12/08

    This sounds very Caribbean in the flavours used. This sounds like something my mother has made time and time again. if you add rice you would have what we call a 'pelau' in Triniodad - 7/13/09

    Thought it was OK. Actually thought the pork was a bit bland (although I did use some really tasty hot sauce that helped). Actually thought it would make great pineapple rice as a side dish and make the pork/chicken a different way with more flavor. - 9/15/08

    This was good! I omitted the flour on the pork, just browned with chili powder, and substituted the water for the juice from a can of mandarin oranges, and added the can of oranges at the last minute. I also substituted the fresh tomato for canned diced tomatoes. used more ginger and chilipowder. - 3/20/08

    Very nice, a few fine adjustments for differing pallets will be happening next time. (A bit more chilli for the adults). This went really well with boiled baby potao's in their skins but next time I will try it with rice. - 3/13/08
