Peach Pork Picante

 


  Here’s a fun new recipe I saw bouncing around the tick tocks. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to try it. It’s sweet, tangy, spicy, and only uses a few ingredients. Perfect, right? Give me something sweet and savory, and I’m in heaven!
 It started out as a recipe using cubed pork loin in a skillet. 
The video that I saw used boneless pork chops in a slow cooker. 
And I decided to use boneless pork chops and bake ‘em in the oven. 
Clearly, this is one of those recipes that just works, no matter how you slice it. And It’s REALLY tasty! I just made it last night, and I literally already want to make it again. Not even kidding. 
I’ve listed the recipe as it was originally written on Allrecipes.com, but feel free to use whatever cooking method you like.
 If you’re all about sweet and spicy and quick and easy, this one’s for you!


1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 pound boneless pork loin, cubed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup salsa
1/4 cup peach preserves


Sprinkle taco seasoning over pork.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add pork and saute until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add salsa and peach preserves and mix well.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat.
Let simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Serve over rice.
 
 
 Tips:
As I said, you can choose whatever cooking method is most convenient for you. Small group? Use a skillet. Larger group? Use a sheet tray and bake at 350. And you KNOW how much I love a slow cooker. Actually, I was thinking this would make a great summer pulled pork using a pork shoulder and slow cooking it on low for 8 or 9 hours.
I bet this recipe would also be pretty fabulous on chicken or even a fillet of cod.
Want to make it REALLY spicy? Choose your favorite spicy salsa. Add some chopped jalapeños. Add some Sriracha. Or crushed red pepper flakes. How hot do you like it? You do you!
Also, for the best tasting rice, sauté a little bit of chopped onion before adding dry rice. Then use chicken broth instead of water. 2 cups broth for one cup of dry rice. Boom.
