Instructions
-
Prepare Pork: In a clean plastic bag, combine taco seasoning and chopped parsley. Add the cubed pork to the bag and shake well to coat the pork evenly with the seasoning mixture.
-
Cook Pork: Heat canola oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the pork is browned on all sides.
-
Add Salsa and Peaches: Stir in the chunky salsa and diced peaches (drained) into the frying pan with the pork. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the pork is tender, stirring occasionally.
-
Thicken Sauce: In a small jar or container with a lid, shake together the cornstarch and cold water until well combined. Add this cornstarch mixture to the frying pan, stirring constantly. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Serve: Remove from heat and serve the Peachy Pork Picante hot over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips for Success
-
Pork Tenderization: For even more tender pork, you can marinate the cubed pork in the taco seasoning and parsley mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking.
-
Adjusting Sweetness: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the sweetness of the dish by using peaches in syrup or in juice. Drain them well if using peaches in juice to avoid making the sauce too sweet.
-
Garnish: A sprinkle of fresh parsley not only adds color but also enhances the visual appeal of the dish. It’s optional but highly recommended for a finishing touch.
Serving Suggestions
Peachy Pork Picante pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans for added nutrition and color. A side salad with a light vinaigrette dressing can also complement the flavors well, balancing the sweetness of the dish with a refreshing crispness.
