Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 3 pounds pork butt, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup pineapple chunks

Preparation

Step 1

In a wide pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add pork and cook until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, for about 1 to 2 minutes or until softened.

Add pineapple juice and vinegar. Allow to boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add soy sauce and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 40 to 50 minutes or until pork is fork-tender and sauce is reduced.

Add pineapple chunks and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Serve hot.
