PRIZE-WINNING POLYNESIAN PORK OVER RICE
I recently inherited my Great Aunt's recipe collection. This is a recipe from her recipe box that she clipped out of the Chicago Tribune. It had won the "$5 Favorite Recipe prize." From the splatters on the clipping, I imagine my Aunt enjoyed this one. These days,I might try browning the meat in a little olive oil instead of the bacon drippings. Despite the name, I doubt this is a traditional Polynesian dish, but rather is one inspired by Polynesian cuisine.

POLYNESIAN PORK WITH PINEAPPLE RICE RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut pork chops into bite-size pieces; toss with 2 teaspoons teriyaki mix. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork to hot oil; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until browned on all sides. Add stir-fry vegetables; toss to combine. Set aside. In a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish, combine uncooked rice, crushed pineapple with juices, broth, pineapple juice and remaining 2 teaspoons teriyaki mix; stir until well mixed. Spoon pork, vegetables and any cooking juices over rice mixture. Cover. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is almost absorbed. Garnish with cashews, if desired
Tips:
- Choose the right pork: Opt for a pork shoulder or pork butt, as these cuts have a good amount of marbling and will become tender when cooked slowly.
- Use a good quality teriyaki sauce: This is the key ingredient that will give your pork its delicious flavor. If you can, try to find a teriyaki sauce that is made with real soy sauce, mirin, and sake.
- Don't overcook the pork: Pulled pork should be cooked until it is tender and shreddable, but not so long that it becomes dry.
- Make sure your pineapple rice is fluffy: Use a long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, and cook it according to the package directions.
- Add some vegetables to your pineapple rice: This will add some extra flavor and nutrition to the dish. Some good options include carrots, peas, and green onions.
Conclusion:
Polynesian pork with pineapple rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the pineapple rice is the perfect complement. Give this recipe a try next time you're looking for something new and exciting to serve your family and friends.
