Where to find ingredients
Look for pork loin, passion fruit juice, butter, sugar, onion, and salt at the meat counter, produce section, dairy aisle, and dry-goods shelves of local supermarkets or neighborhood markets. If passion fruit juice is unavailable, use a substitute only if it is explicitly labeled as such and keep the original ingredient as the preferred option.
Preparation method
- In a pitcher, mix the filtered water, concentrated passion fruit juice, and granulated sugar. Set this mixture aside
- Prepare the pork loin: trim off any excess fat and soak it in filtered water for 10 minutes
- Drain the water from the pork loin. Pierce 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 golden and lightly crisp at the edges
- Add the pork loin to the pan and, little by little, drizzle in the passion fruit mixture, adding the liquid gradually until the pork loin is cooked
- Continue cooking until the passion fruit sauce reduces and thickens, forming a rich gravy
- Serve the sliced pork loin topped with the thick sauce, accompanied by farofa and white rice
