Where to find ingredients
You can find pork loin and fresh produce at local butchers or grocery stores. For concentrated passion fruit juice, look in the beverage aisle of supermarkets. If unavailable, fresh passion fruit pulp can be used as a high-quality substitute.
Preparation method
- In a jug, mix the filtered water, concentrated passion fruit juice, and granulated sugar. Set this mixture aside.
- Prepare the pork loin: remove excess fat and let it soak in filtered water for 10 minutes.
- Drain the pork. Make holes in the meat using the tip of a knife and season it only with salt.
- In a pan, heat the butter and sauté the sliced onion until it is golden brown and slightly crispy at the edges.
- Add the pork loin to the pan and, little by little, pour the passion fruit mixture over it, adding the liquid gradually until the pork is cooked through.
- Continue cooking until the passion fruit sauce reduces and thickens, forming a rich glaze.
- Serve the sliced pork drizzled with the thick sauce, accompanied by farofa and white rice.
