Experience the islands at home with this slow-cooked pork loin drenched in a sweet and spicy Hawaiian-inspired marinade.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 32 oz pork loin
- 4 cups pineapple juice
- ¼ cup ginger minced
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- salt & pepper to taste
- fresh parsley for topping
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Place the chopped onion at the bottom of the slow cooker to create a flavorful bed for the pork loin.
- Rest the pork loin on top of the onions and pour the pineapple juice marinade over the pork. Set the slow cooker to low and allow the pork loin to cook for six hours, or if you're pressed for time, set it to high for three hours.
- After the cooking time has elapsed, let the pork loin rest for approximately ten minutes before serving. This rest period is crucial for the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it remains succulent.
- Slice the pork loin and serve it on a bed of rice, spooning the remaining sauce and cooked onions over the slices. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
