PINEAPPLE PORK LOIN



Pineapple Pork Loin image

I was in a creative mood last Friday and decided to do some experimenting with pork and pineapple. After mixing the ingredients together and smelling it, I thought I might just have a winner with my family. After it had cooked and cooled a little, I let my girls try it. To my surprise, my 5-year-old, who is very picky, loved it and kept asking for more. I guess I should try to experiment more often.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices (each 1/2 inch thick) fresh pineapple
3 tablespoons dark hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the right pork loin: Look for a pork loin that is about 2-3 pounds and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the pork loin is juicy and flavorful.
  • Sear the pork loin before roasting: Searing the pork loin before roasting helps to develop a nice crust and lock in the juices. This will result in a more flavorful and tender pork loin.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what will give the pork loin its delicious flavor. Be sure to use a glaze that you like and that complements the pork loin. The pineapple glaze used in this recipe is a great option, but you can also try a honey garlic glaze, a maple Dijon glaze, or a teriyaki glaze.
  • Roast the pork loin to the correct temperature: The internal temperature of the pork loin should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork loin is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the pork loin rest before carving: Letting the pork loin rest for 10-15 minutes before carving will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork loin.

Conclusion:

Pork loin is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. This pineapple glazed pork loin recipe is a great way to enjoy this flavorful cut of meat. The pork loin is seared and then roasted in a pineapple glaze, resulting in a juicy and flavorful dish. This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
