Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Pork Shoulder
  • 1 can Pineapple Chunks
  • 2 medium Potatoes
  • 1 can Coconut Milk
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 4 cups Cooked Rice

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs Pork Shoulder into 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2Peel and cut the 2 medium Potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Peel and finely chop the 1 medium Onion. Peel and mince the 3 cloves Garlic and the 1 inch Ginger.
  3. 3Heat the 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. 5Add the pork cubes to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder and 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. 6Stir in the 2 tablespoons Tamari and 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce. Add the 1 can Pineapple Chunks (with their juice) and the cubed potatoes. Stir everything together well.
  7. 7Pour in the 1 can Coconut Milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Once simmering, reduce the heat to low (250°F / 120°C), cover the pot, and cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the pork is very tender and the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. 8Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1 tablespoon Lime Juice.
  9. 9Serve the Burmese Pork Curry with Pineapple hot with the 4 cups Cooked Rice.
