Mango Pork

Those two words "Mango Pork" are enough to bring a glow to hub's face.  From what I understand, the recipe is one of my mother's inventions (please correct me if I'm wrong) and it is quite frankly one of the most delicious, scrumptious and other fancy adjectives ending in -ious, dishes I have EVER eaten.

It wasn't too difficult to put this together.  Basically the recipe is a list of stuff that you mix together to create this wonderful dish.

I started off with two pieces of pork loin.  I defrosted them then rubbed garlic, salt and pepper on them.  Then I put them in a frying pan and cooked them until the meat browned.  I cut it up into slices about 1 inch thick and they were still pretty raw in the middle (they're supposed to be).  I threw them back into the frying pan with about half a cup of apple juice (any juice will do...mango, prune, etc) and double the amount of Thai sweet chili sauce.  Then I threw in a handful of dried mango that I previously cut into thinner slices (about 5 millimeters thick).  Stirring it occasionally I let it soak up the juices and chili sauce for about 20 minutes.

Result? A mega-hit recipe that I will FOR SURE repeat.  Pictures included.

Thanks momma!

Oh, side note - Garlicky sweet potatoes and green beans with multigrain rice were side dishes, and bananas dipped in chocolate and cinnamon were dessert.  MMmmmmhm!!!
