Directions

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Season the pork loin with the marinade and let it sit, preferably overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Place the sliced pork in a baking dish along with the marinade.
Add the potatoes seasoned with salt and paprika, and drizzle with some oil and place in the oven.
Turn the meat halfway through cooking, basting occasionally with the juices that evaporate as it roasts.
When done, transfer the slices and potatoes to a new baking dish with some of the juices.
Place 1/2 slice of pineapple between each pork slice and bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve.

Recipe Tips

•

When marinating the pork loin, allow it to sit for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors from the garlic, red pepper paste, and wine to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more flavorful roast.

•

For a caramelized crust on the pork loin, sear the meat in a hot pan with oil for about 2-3 minutes on each side before transferring it to the oven. This step enhances the flavor and texture of the finished dish.

•

Avoid overcooking the pork loin by using a meat thermometer; aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let the meat rest for at least 10-15 minutes after roasting before slicing to ensure that the juices redistribute and the meat remains moist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for white wine in the marinade?

You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or apple cider vinegar mixed with water as a substitute for white wine in the marinade. These alternatives will still provide moisture and flavor to the marinade.

How do I store leftover roasted pork loin?

Leftover roasted pork loin should be cooled to room temperature and then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months; just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.

What should I do if my pork loin is overcooked and dry?

If your pork loin turns out overcooked and dry, you can slice it thinly and serve it with a flavorful sauce or gravy made from pan drippings. Adding moisture through sauces can help improve the taste and texture of the pork.

Recommended Drink Pairings

Wine

Portuguese: Vinho Verde - This light and crisp wine complements the sweetness of the pineapple while cutting through the richness of the pork.

General: Chardonnay - A medium-bodied Chardonnay with hints of tropical fruit will enhance the flavors of the roasted pork and pineapple beautifully.

Beer

Portuguese: Super Bock - This popular lager has a refreshing quality that pairs well with the savory elements of the dish.

General: Pale Ale - A balanced Pale Ale offers a nice hoppy bitterness that contrasts nicely with the sweet and savory flavors of the roasted pork loin.

Other Beverages

Dark Rum Cocktail: A dark rum cocktail with a splash of pineapple juice will echo the fruitiness of the dish while adding a touch of warmth and spice.
