How to Make Caribbean Pork With Pineapple

  1. Season 1.5 lbs boneless pork shoulder with 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lime, 2 teaspoons Tabasco Habanero sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Pour over the pork, ensuring it's evenly coated. Toss to combine.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Transfer the pork to a shallow baking dish.
  6. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet with the pork drippings. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  7. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup raisins, the zest of 1 lime, and 1 teaspoon Tabasco Habanero sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  9. Pour the sauce over the pork in the baking dish.
  10. Cover and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20 minutes.
  11. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained, and 2 tablespoons dark rum. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.
  12. Spoon the cooked pineapple over the pork. Bake, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
