Where to find ingredients
You can find pork loin and fresh produce at local supermarkets or municipal markets in Nairobi. Concentrated passion fruit juice is widely available in the juice aisle, or you can substitute it by blending fresh passion fruit pulp and straining it to achieve a similar concentration.
Preparation method
- In a pitcher, mix the filtered water, concentrated passion fruit juice, and granulated sugar. Set this mixture aside.
- Prepare the pork loin: remove excess fat and soak it in filtered water for 10 minutes.
- Drain the water from the pork. Poke holes in the meat with the tip of a knife and season only with salt.
- In a pot, heat the butter and sauté the sliced onion until golden and slightly crispy at the edges.
- Add the pork to the pot and, little by little, baste it with the passion fruit mixture, 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.
