Instructions
Spicy Pineapple Sauce
- Add the coriander, chili powder, smoked paprika and turmeric to a small fry pan and roast them over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Make sure to stir the spices and keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
- In a separate pan, saute the onion in the oil, for about 5 minutes. Then add in the ginger and garlic.
- Toss in the roasted spices, pineapple juice, tomato paste, serrano pepper, maple syrup and salt and pepper and mix well.
- Then, using an immersion blender, blend all the ingredients up. Or, you can spoon mixture into a blender and pulse till ingredients are broken down. This Spicy Pineapple Sauce can be stored in an airtight container in your fridge for 4-5 days.
Spicy Pineapple Pork
- Toss the bite sized pieces of Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops with 1/2 cup of the Spicy Pineapple Sauce.
- Add oil to a pan and toss the Spicy Pineapple Sauce coated Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops into it, along with the chopped fresh pineapple slices. Saute about 8-10 minutes, stirring often so the pieces of Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops saute on all sides.
- When done, serve with Cabbage Pepper Salad and Spicy Pineapple Sauce on the side.
Cabbage Pepper Salad
- Saute onion in grapeseed oil in a large fry pan for about 5 minutes (you can cook this simultaneously with the Spicy Pineapple Pork).
- Add the ginger, and the orange, red, green and yellow bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and add to a large bowl. Into this large bowl, also add in the red and green cabbage and toss with the sauteed bell peppers. For me, the sauteed pepper mixture was all the "dressing" I needed for this salad.
- Toss in the black sesame seeds and enjoy this Cabbage Pepper Salad along with the Spicy Pineapple Pork.
Notes
*When "Salt" is mentioned, I sometimes use Himalayan salt, so please adjust the amounts according to what salt you are using. In my experience, white table salt tends to be a bit more salty that Himalayan salt is.
