SWEET & SOUR PORK WITH PINEAPPLE

1-1/2 lbs. boneless pork chops, cut into strips
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple tidbits in juice (drained)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 carrots, peeled and cut julienne style

Sauce:

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup orange juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cornstarch

In a large skillet, sauté onions on low for 2 minutes. (You can do this while slicing the pork.)  Add pork strips and sauté on medium for 4 minutes or until all pink is out of pork.  Add pineapple and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt, mix through with your spatula and continue to sauté for 2 additional minutes. Add carrots and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Whisk sauce ingredients in a medium bowl.  Pour over pork and pineapple mixture.  Bring to a light boil; reduce heat and simmer for 6-7 minutes.

Slice Pork chops into strips using a sharp knife and a cutting board.

 

Smells great!  Pork simmering with pineapple!
