Polynesian Pork Roast

I loved this recipe!  I think my fellas thought it was pretty good, but they sort of ate around all the peppers, onions and pineapple.   :)  Oh well... we WILL have this again!

Polynesian Pork Roast
1 pork loin roast (about 2 pounds)
1 can Dole crushed pineapple in juice
2 Tbsp. soy sauce (reduced sodium)
1 small onion, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. corn starch

Drain pineapple juice into roasting pan.  Place pork loin in pan with juice.  Cover with salt and pepper.  Bake, covered, for about an hour and a half at 350 degrees.  (or till done)

Just as the pork loin is finishing cooking, lightly saute the onion and peppers in a bit of olive oil.  Then add the drained, crushed pineapple.  Mix thoroughly.

Pour out the liquid from the roasting pan into a saucepan to thicken for the 'gravy'.  Use about 1 Tbsp. corn starch mixed with some of the liquid to thicken.

Pour the sweet/sour veggies over the pork loin and return to the oven while you make the 'gravy'.

Serve over brown rice and drizzle the sauce/gravy over top.

Makes 8 servings.
