pork with a pineapple-ginger sauce

ingredients:
  • pork medallions, pork loin or pork chops (or ham, or chicken)
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

prep:

  • cook meat however you like, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper

actual cooking:

  • while meat is cooking, combine other ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat
  • simmer until liquid is reduced to almost nothing
  • remove from heat & allow to sit uncovered until meat is ready

so. freaking. easy. i served pork medallions with israeli cous cous and steamed snap peas. it was a hit. the only real problem is... i don't eat ginger, so it's possible they were lying to me. but they did continue to eat the sauce after the meat was gone, so that's something.
