8 ounces center-cut pork loin 

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 

1 tablespoon vegetable oil 

1 small onion, thinly sliced lengthwise 

Zest and juice of 1 orange 

1/4 cup golden raisins 

2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or low-sodium canned 

1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

Season pork with salt and pepper. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil. When oil is very hot, add pork, and brown on all sides.

Add onions, zest and juice, raisins, stock, vinegar, honey, thyme, and cumin. Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until pork is tender, about 30 minutes.

Remove pork, let cool, shred, and return to pan. Simmer until liquid has reduced to a thick sauce, 10 to 15 minutes.
