Cuisine for Two

This was really EASY!!! I had this done and on the table in about 20 minutes. A very tasty dish--but then how can you miss with pork and pineapple!
Changes I would make---I would caramelize the pineapple pieces after the pork is seared and then add to the end to warm through. I did not make the boats--but I think that would have been a little over the top with the pineapple--totally unecessary---IMHO. I also used asparagus because the green beans did not look too fresh in the market...nice with this dish. I would also add a bit more cornstarch to the sauce ingredients to thicken a bit more...the written recipe was a little too liquidy to cling to the rice. I used orzo but that is personal preference--plain white rice would have been great. Brown rice was recommended but we (read: Peter) don't care for brown rice soooo....
I will try this again with those changes...it could be better!
