Where to find ingredients
Pork loin is found in the butcher section of supermarkets. Passion fruit concentrate is available in the juice or international aisle; if unavailable, fresh passion fruit pulp can be used as a substitute, adjusting sugar to taste. White rice and cassava flour are standard pantry items.
Preparation method
- In a pitcher, mix the filtered water, passion fruit concentrate, and granulated sugar, then set aside.
- Prepare the pork loin by trimming excess fat and soaking it in filtered water for 10 minutes.
- Drain the pork, pierce the surface with the tip of a knife, and season only with salt.
- In a large pot, heat the butter and sauté the sliced onions until golden brown and slightly crispy at the edges.
- Add the pork to the pot and gradually pour in the passion fruit mixture, cooking the meat slowly as you add the liquid.
- Continue cooking until the passion fruit sauce reduces and thickens into a rich glaze.
- Serve the pork sliced, drizzled with the thickened sauce, and pair it with white rice and toasted cassava flour.
