Crockpot Pineapple Pork Loin

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Pat the pork loin dry and season with salt and pepper. Add it to the hot pan and sear the pork on all sides, about 5 minutes in total.

In the bowl of the crockpot, add the crushed pineapple, soy sauce, chipotle hot sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chopped garlic cloves, chopped shallot, and chopped chives. Whisk together to combine. Then add the seared pork to the crockpot, making sure it’s coated with the mixture. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.

At the 4-hour mark, mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and about 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Add this slurry to the crockpot to thicken the sauce, and cover once more. Make sure the internal temperature of the pork measures 145 degrees.
