Preparation

Medium

In a blender, combine the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper, and blend with a splash of water, just enough to create a paste. Once you make the onion and garlic paste, coat the loin or slices and let marinate for 10 minutes. In a skillet, heat the oil and brown the loin or slices very well. Drain them very thoroughly. Once the pork is browned, place it in a pot. Pour the remaining paste over the loin, and then add 1 liter of pineapple juice, the pineapple with syrup, raisins, and prunes. Start on high heat, and when it begins to boil, reduce to low heat. Let it simmer, checking to ensure it doesn't dry out. The other juice will be used for basting. Taste for salt. Once ready, serve it hot.
