Ingredients
8 Pork Loins, sliced into chunks
288g of Onions, thinly sliced
381g of Mixed Peppers, thinly sliced
565g Pineapple pieces, with juice
64g of Tomato Paste
3 tbsp Honey
30ml of Rice Vinegar
5g of Spring Onion per portion

1 tsp Rapeseed Oil
2 tbsp Cornflour with 2 tbsp water

Method
1
Start by searing the pork loins with one teaspoon of rapeseed oil over a high heat. When the pork has taken on some colour on one side (not fully cooked), add into the slow cooker.
2
Next, add the onions, peppers, pineapple pieces (along with the juice in the can), tomato paste, honey, rice vinegar, stock, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 4 hours.
3
When there’s 20 minutes left on your slow cooker, add the cornflour slurry into the mix. Stir to combine and leave to thicken.
4
During this time, cook your rice according to packet instructions.
5
Serve up your sweet & sour pork with a portion of rice and a sprinkle of spring onion.
