• 1/2 kilo of pork loin
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 200 grams of holantao

• 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks

Booking. Prepare your own tamarind sauce by putting 3 tablespoons of ketchup sauce, 3 tablespoons of red vinegar, 6 tablespoons of white sugar and a cup of water over low heat. Let it boil, stirring constantly, and then add a spoonful of chuño dissolved in a little bit of water in the form of a thread, and you will see that it will thicken. Remove from heat and let cool. In a wide frying pan, add a splash of oil and brown the kion for a couple of minutes; then, add the pepper, pineapple and sauté over high heat.

Note: Remember that pork is a lean meat. What does it mean? The fact that some parts of the pig, such as the loin, contain little fat and a lot of muscle fiber, so its protein content is extraordinarily rich, helps to have a healthy and balanced diet. Experts even recommend its consumption 3 to 4 times a week.
