Polynesian Pork and Pineapple Bowl

With the perfect mixture of carbs and protein and savory and sweet, this Polynesian Pork and Pineapple Bowl has it all. This recipe makes 4 bowls and is perfect for a well balanced family dinner. What makes this recipe fun is that you eat your meal right out of the pineapple.

The sauce that I used to marinate the pork in this recipe is San-J Sweet & Tangy Sauce and after the meat cooks for 40 minutes in the Instant Pot you shred it and add another tablespoon of the Sweet & Tangy sauce to it. While the pork is cooking, you dice the sweet potatoes and put them in the oven for 20 minutes. Then you divided the rice, pork, sweet potatoes, and veggies in the 4-pineapple half and just like that dinner is served.

 I like to add more of the Sweet & Tangy Sauce and macadamia nuts on top of my bowls. Give this recipe a try!
