This is a sponsored collaboration with Dime Media and the National Pork Board. The recipe, pictures and opinions are 100% my own.

Pork roast is a signature dish in Colombia and other Latin American countries during the holidays, every country making its own variation. Growing up in Colombia, my family would gather at my Grandmother’s house on Christmas Eve for our traditional noche buena meal and then again on New Year’s Eve to celebrate Mamita’s birthday and to welcome in the new year together. While there were many different dishes on the table, the star of dinner was always a pork dish. It may have been pernil, lechona or cañon, but without fail, we could always count on a great pork dish, which was my grandmother’s favorite kind of meat.

Pineapple Roasted Pork Loin

This Pineapple Roasted Pork Loin recipe is one of the recipes that my Mamita made and it’s one of my favorite ways to cook pork. It’s made using a large pork loin roast, which is rubbed with a seasoning mix of ground cumin, ground cinnamon, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, oil and salt, then baked in pineapple juice with fresh pineapple slices and onions. The roasted pork is served with a pineapple sauce made by reducing the roasting juices and adding heavy cream and corn starch.

This is a delicious celebratory dish, full of flavor that suits all occasions and festivities and is sure to be the star of your dinner table. By the way, the leftover pork makes for great sandwiches too! I hope you enjoy this pork roast recipe as much as I do.

    Hi Erica from Spain. We always use pork loin and I usually buy a complete cinta de lomo and take two or three roasting joints and then cut the rest into steaks. Any trimmings get ground and used for sausages but I may, try mixing with some beef to make your stuffed meatloaf. One of our preferred ways of using the loin roast is to spiral-cut it and then stuff it with various fruits and nuts or with sage and onion stuffing. After taking a certain amount of cold roast as cold-cuts, the remainder gets ground with onions carrots and herbs to form the base for shepherds pie.
