METHOD: Stir-Fry

TIME: Prep: 15 min. + marinating Cook: 20 min.

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium limes
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 to 3 sprigs fresh parsley, stems removed
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 medium onions, each cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 small green peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges

Directions:

Finely grate lime peel, reserving 2 tablespoons peel. Juice the limes. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic, oregano, thyme, cayenne, parsley, lime juice and reserved lime peel. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork and bay leaf. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

Add the meat; cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until browned. Reduce heat; add the onions, peppers and the reserved lime mixture. Cook, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add the tomatoes; cook 1 minute longer. Yield: 4 servings.
