Five Spice Pork with Pineapple Salsa

This particular recipe originally was in Chatelaine magazine but as with most recipes I come across I have made a slight adjustment to it based on the ingredients I had in the house and the varying tastes of those in the family.

Here’s how we do this one.

Shopping list:

• 12 Pork Loin medallions
• 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
• 1/3 cup Hoisin Sauce
• 2 tbsp Low Sodium Soya Sauce
• 2 tsp Sambal
• 1 tsp Five Spice powder
• 2 cups diced Pineapple
• 2 medium Tomatoes seeded and chopped
• 3/4 cup chopped Red Onion
• 1 medium Red Pepper – diced
• 1 medium Green Pepper – diced
• 1/4 chopped Cilantro
• 1 tsp ground Coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tbsp Ground Black Pepper
• 2 tbsp Lime juice

Putting it all together:

1. Place the pork in a large non reactive bowl with a tight fitting lid.
2. Mix the next five ingredients in a separate container, pour over the pork, mix well, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. For the salsa combine all the remaining ingredients in a non reactive bowl, mix well, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. To cook the pork heat some oil in a large pan and fry for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°.
5. Serve over rice with the pineapple salsa.
6. Enjoy.

There you have it another “simple but tasty recipe for the grilling season and beyond.”

Until next time……
