Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 g Pork shoulder
- 60 ml Coconut aminos
- 120 ml Pineapple juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
- 60 g Coconut sugar
- 10 g Garlic, minced
- 5 g Paprika
- 10 g Salt
- 5 g Black pepper
- 10 ml Coconut oil
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine coconut aminos, pineapple juice, coconut sugar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until coconut sugar is dissolved.
Add the sliced pork into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a zip-lock bag.
Refrigerate the pork tocino to marinate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight for best results.
When ready to cook, heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork slices in batches to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the pork slices for about 7-10 minutes each side, or until they are caramelized and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, typically with cauliflower rice or a salad for a complete Paleo meal.
