Roast Pork with Pineapple: Mauritian stew of pot-roast pork with pineapple and onions.

Ingredients


1 pork leg roast (about 800g)
1 tin of pineapple rings in syrup
3 tbsp oil
30g butter
2 onions, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
4 tbsp rum
juice of 1/2 lime
1 chicken stock cube
3 tbsp water
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Drain the pineapple and cut into chunks.

Heat together the oil and butter in the base of a heat-proof casserole. When the butter has stopped foaming, add the meat and fry until browned all over.

Remove the meat from the casserole and set aside. Add the onions to the oil remaining in the pan and fry over high heat until browned (about 6 minutes). Add the pineapple chunks and cook, stirring constantly, until they caramelize on the outside.

Return the meat to the pan, add the rum and flambé. Add the lime juice, crumble over the stock cub and add the water. Season to taste with salt, and black pepper, bring to a simmer, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook gently for about 60 minutes, or until the meat is tender.

Serve hot, accompanied by fried plantains.
