Pineapple Pork Adobo

PREP TIME
15 minutes + 30 minutes marinating
COOK TIME
2 hour 15 minutes
SERVES
4
Ingredients

¾ cup apple cider vinegar

1/3 cup light soy sauce

3 tbsp brown sugar

¼ tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp finely grated ginger

6 garlic cloves, finely chopped

800g (1.7 lb) pork belly, skinless, cut into roughly 4cm (1.5”) squares

3 tbsp vegetable oil

1 brown onion, halved, sliced

1 long red chilli, finely sliced

4 bay leaves

½ pineapple, skin removed, sliced

¼ cup sliced spring onion (scallions), to serve

Steps
  • Step 1

    Whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, ginger and half the chopped garlic. Place the pork in a large bowl and pour over the vinegar mixture. Toss to coat. Cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy-based pan over high heat. Remove pork from the marinade and cook in batches (about 3-4 minutes each side) until golden brown. Reserve the marinade for later. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.

  • Step 3

    Place the pan back on medium-high heat and add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until the onions have coloured and are soft. Add the remaining garlic and chilli and cook for another minute. Add the pork, reserved marinade, bay leaves and ¼ cup water. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 90 minutes. 

  • Step 4

    Meanwhile, in another pan, add the remaining oil over a medium heat and caramelise the pineapple for 5-6 mins or until there is a golden crust on each chunk (you may need to do this in batches).

  • Step 5

    Transfer pork and pineapple pieces to a large bowl or platter. 

  • Step 6

    Place the sauce over medium-high heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly. Pour sauce over pork and scatter over the spring onion.
