Silvia Martínez If you’re in search of a meat recipe with a different flavor then you’ve come to the right place. You’ll be glad because our recipe only uses five ingredients. My family and I love sweet and sour dishes, and that is the inspiration for this Hawaiian pork loin recipe. The combination of the sweet pineapple juice with the acidity of the white wine and the deep flavor of the soy sauce give the pork loin a unique flavor. Pork loin is lean in fat and cooks relatively fast, which is why you should be careful not to over cook it, as the meat will be dry. I suggest you get a meat thermometer, as it makes it easier to know the exact temperature inside the loin. You should also know that this recipe requires marinating the meat for quite a few hours.

Ingredients

  • 1-1.3 lb pork loin
  • 1/3 cup pineapple juice + 1/4 cup for the sauce
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch

Directions

  • 1
    Marinate the pork loin with 1/3 cup of pineapple juice, white wine and soy sauce. This can be done in a sealed container or plastic bag safe for food. Keep in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, or overnight.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 450 °F and place the loin and marinating juice in an oven-safe container and bake for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350 °F and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the inside of the meat reaches a temperature of 155°F.
  • 3
    Remove from oven. Carefully cover the loin in aluminum foil (without slicing it) and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • 4
    Meanwhile empty the drippings into a saucepan and place on the stove on medium high heat.
  • 5
    In a bowl, combine the remaining pineapple juice and cornstarch and mix well. When the contents of the saucepan come to a boil, add the pineapple juice and cornstarch mixture. Lower the temperature and mix until the sauce thickens.
  • 6
    Slice the pork loin and serve with the pineapple sauce and a light salad (I served mine with a cabbage, carrots and squash salad).

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    You can use any kind of white wine. If you’d like a sweeter flavor use a Moscato or, for a sauce that’s not as sweet, use a Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay.
  • tip 2
    For low sodium diets, use a reduced sodium soy sauce.
