Ingredients

  • 2 ½ tablespoons paprika

  • 2 ½ pounds boneless pork loin roast, cut into 1-inch strips

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped

  • ¼ cup cider vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • ¼ cup cold water

  • 2 cups Hot cooked rice

Directions

  1. Place paprika in a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In a nonstick skillet, brown pork in oil in batches over medium-high heat. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker.

  2. Drain pineapple, reserving juice; refrigerate the pineapple. Add the pineapple juice, onion, green pepper, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and salt to slow cooker; mix well. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender.

  3. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into pork mixture. Add pineapple. Cover and cook 30 minutes longer or until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice if desired.
