Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil

- ½ green bell pepper, seeded, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

Notes
- Choose pineapple chunks canned in juice and not in heavy syrup as the packing liquid is what we use to braise the meat.
- I use table cream (Nestle's all-purpose cream) to add a touch of creaminess. You can substitute an equal amount of coconut or evaporated milk.
- For a creamy, smooth consistency, simmer, and do not bring the sauce to a boil once the cream is added lest it curdles and separates.
