Peachy Pork Picante
Hearty Meat Dishes
Prep time:
15 minutesMarinating time:
3 minutes“Grandpa liked his pork extra spicy, so he poured on the hot sauce.”
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1 pound boneless pork loin
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 1/3 cup peach preserves
Directions
1
Cut the pork into 3/4-inch cubes with a sharp knife. Combine the pork with the taco seasoning mix in a resealable plastic bag and seal tightly. Shake to coat pork. Marinate in refrigerator, turning the bag occasionally, for 1 to 2 hours.
2
Combine water and rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave on HIGH (100% power) until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 11 to 13 minutes. Cover to keep warm.
3
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork. Cook, stirring frequently, until pork is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Stir in salsa and preserves. Reduce heat to low.
4
Cover the skillet. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Spoon over rice on a heated serving platter. Serve immediately.

Grandma's Secret Tip
If Grandma was out of taco seasoning, she made a quick substitution that saved the day. In a small bowl she mixed 2 teaspoons paprika, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon onion salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper.
