Foodie Post - Recipes : PORK AND PINEAPPLE TACOS




Serve with a bowl of fresh salsa on the side to spoon over the tacos, if you like.

Ingredients
1 white onion, thickly sliced
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, thinly sliced crosswise
8 to 12 corn tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
Lime wedges

Method
Arrange a rack in the oven about 6 inches from the heating element and preheat broiler. Arrange onion and pineapple on a large foil-lined baking sheet and broil, stirring once or twice, until softened and browned in parts, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a platter and keep warm.

Arrange pork on the same baking sheet and broil, stirring once or twice, until cooked through and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to platter with pineapple and onion and toss gently. Spoon onto tortillas, top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Top Chef All-Stars Ep 13 : Fit For A King


Life was anything but beachy for the cheftestants. They had to compete against the chefs they lost to, survive a kitchen fire, and cook for Bahamian royalty.

Things were super hot in the Bahamas, with the cheftestants cooking head to head with their season's winner, and overcoming a kitchen fire to make food worthy of royalty. Now it's your turn to decide if their dishes were smokin' or just smoky.
