Slow-cooked pork and tangy pineapple curry
This pork and pineapple curry is so easy to make ahead of time, reheats well, and tastes even better the next day.
Slow cooking really does pork a favour. It turns the meat soft and tender and gives the sauce plenty of time to come together properly. The pineapple lifts everything, adding a fresh, slightly sharp note so the curry never feels too rich. Curry powder and paprika bring gentle warmth without overpowering the dish, while a spoon of mango chutney ties it all together with just a hint of sweetness. Recipe compliments of Instant Pot.
