Ingredients
- 500 grams pork shoulder (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 cup pineapple juice (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 4 cups cauliflower (riced)
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil or coconut oil)
- 4 whole eggs
- 2 tablespoons green onions (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, pineapple juice, coconut sugar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the thinly sliced pork shoulder to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 3
When ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated pork slices (discard excess marinade) and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until caramelized and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of cooking oil and lower the heat. Add the riced cauliflower and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender. Season with a pinch of salt, if desired, and then transfer to a serving plate.
Step 5
In a clean pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness.
Step 6
To assemble, plate a portion of the cauliflower rice, place a few pieces of cooked tocino on the side, and top with a fried egg. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Step 7
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Tocilog!
