Ingredients
2 kg lean pork loin
1 bottle concentrated passion fruit juice
1 liter filtered water
2 cups granulated sugar
1 large onion
1 tablespoon butter
Salt to taste
1 bottle concentrated passion fruit juice
1 liter filtered water
2 cups granulated sugar
1 large onion

Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets or fresh food markets. As a substitute, if concentrated juice is unavailable, you can use fresh passion fruit pulp, though you may need to adjust the sugar quantity to balance the acidity.
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 let it soak in filtered water for 10 minutes.
- Drain the water from the loin. Poke holes in the meat with the tip of a knife and season it only with salt.
- In a pan, heat the butter and fry the sliced onion until it is golden and slightly crispy at the edges.
- Add the loin to the pan 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 loin drizzled with the thick sauce, accompanied by farofa and white rice.
