== Description ==
== Ingredients ==
* 12 oz. pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
* 4 cups water
* 2 small onions, halved and sliced
* 4 cloves garlic, whole, minced
* 3 black peppercorns
* 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
* 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil or corn oil
* 2 (28 oz.) cans whole tomatoes, drained and chopped
* 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
* 1-1/2 tablespoon raisins
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers or chili-garlic paste

* 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
* Pinch of ground cloves
* 1 cup diced fresh pineapple

== Directions ==
# Combine pork, water, halved onion, whole garlic, peppercorns and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer; cook, partially covered, over low heat until the pork is no longer pink inside, 30 to 40 minutes. 
# Meanwhile, heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. 
# Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, minced garlic, tomatoes, sweet potato, raisins, sugar, adobo sauce (or chili-garlic paste), cinnamon, oregano and cloves. 
# Bring to a simmer; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is just tender, about 15 minutes.
# Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve, reserving 3/4 cup. (Refrigerate or freeze extra broth for another use.) 
# Add the pork, 3/4 cup cooking liquid, pineapple and olives to the vegetable mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
