🛒 Ingredients:

  • 500–700g (1–1.5 lbs) pork or chicken (shoulder, tenderloin, or boneless thighs work best)

  • 1 can (or 1 cup fresh) pineapple slices or chunks

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

  • Pinch of salt (adjust depending on soy sauce)

  • Fresh herbs or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish.

2. Slice & Season the Meat

Cut your meat into medium-sized pieces or slices, about 1–2 cm thick. In a bowl, combine with soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, and paprika. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes if you have time.

3. Layer the Dish

Place the sliced onions in the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange the meat on top in a single layer. Add pineapple slices or chunks over each piece of meat.

4. Bake It

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking uncovered for 10–15 more minutes, until meat is golden and pineapple slightly caramelized.

5. Serve Hot

Garnish with herbs or sesame seeds, if using. Serve alongside rice, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad.

🧑‍🍳 Tips & Variations:

  • Use Fresh Pineapple for extra brightness, or canned in juice for convenience.

  • Add Cheese: A thin slice of mozzarella or cheddar melted on top of the pineapple adds richness.

  • Spice It Up: Add chili flakes or a dash of sriracha to the marinade.

  • Make it a One-Pan Meal: Add bell peppers or zucchini to the baking dish for a built-in side.

🧊 Storage:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

🍽️ Perfect Pairings:

  • Steamed jasmine or basmati rice

  • Garlic mashed potatoes

  • Roasted vegetables

  • Light white wine or sparkling water with citrus
