Wouldn’t my peppered pork loin with a sweet chili pecan fruit sauce make a delicious dinner tonight?
You can make this delicious dinner in 30 minutes!
Dinner shouldn’t take you all night to make and shouldn’t cause you added stress. It’s a time to relax and celebrate the day by sharing a meal with your family and friends
Not only is my Peppered Pork Loin delicious, it’s easy to make and can be on your table in about 30 minutes. And my Sweet Chili-Pecan Fruit Sauce just adds another layer of deliciousness to this perfect pork loin recipe.
What Ingredients do you need to make a Peppered Pork Loin?
Let’s get our ingredients together (aka mise en place) for our Peppered Pork Loin. In chef speak this is called the mise en place (everything in its place). This recipe will also work amazingly well with chicken or fish.
What is Fusion Style Cooking?
I’ve never thought of myself as a fusion style chef, borrowing different components from ethnic cuisines and blending them together. But this dish bears a strong resemblance to an Americana meets Asian dish. You have that tender, moist, flavorful pork loin, well seasoned and seared. Then add in a tropical sauce of pineapple, tangerines and sweet chili sauce with cranberries thrown in for good measure (and color). And let’s not forget the pecans….sigh, I do love pecans and they add another level of flavor and texture to the dish.
It was simply amazing, and I will be repeating this topping with seafood soon!

I need to start with the sauce because chili fruit sauce is simply the best. I have used it with so many of my favorte mains, and it never disappointed. And that pork loin is mouthwatering. It is amazing where the combination of different flavors can take us taste-wise!

You are a lifesaver, Chef Dennis. I am always looking for quick and delicious this time of year. And, I am making this for my family this weekend, and maybe one or two more times before the holiday season ends. Thank you so much for sharing such an elegant, yet simple dish.
