Pineapple Pork Skewers Recipes

SOY-GLAZED PORK AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• Using a serrated knife, trim the pineapple and cut off the skin. Cut into 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds and then cut into chunks around the core; discard the core.
• Cut the onion in half vertically and then separate the onion into 2-to-3-layer portions. Cut the portions into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
• Preheat a grill or large grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the pork, pineapple and red onion onto the skewers. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the skewers until lightly charred on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce with the vinegar, agave nectar and sesame oil.
• Flip the skewers and brush with some of the soy mixture. Continue to grill, flipping every 2 minutes and brushing with the soy mixture, until lightly charred all over and the pork is just cooked, 6 to 8 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

PINEAPPLE & PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cut the pork into cubes. Heat the sugar and vinegar in a pan over a low heat until the sugar melts. Add the fish sauce and cool. Tip in the pork and mix well so that all the cubes are covered in sauce.
• Heat the barbecue. If you are using coals, wait until they turn white. If you are indoors, heat a griddle pan. Thread the pork and pineapple onto skewers, alternating pieces with the pepper and spring onion.
• Barbecue or griddle the skewers for 3-4 mins each side (you may need to cook them for longer if griddling). Sprinkle with coriander, if you like, then serve with rice or slide into pitta breads.

PINEAPPLE PORK KABOBS

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving juice; refrigerate the pineapple. In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar and pepper. Pour half of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal and turn to coat; refrigerate for 4 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting., Drain and discard marinade from pork. On metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the pork, pineapple and pepper. Grill kabobs, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and meat is no longer pink, turning and basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Serve with rice if desired.

PINEAPPLE PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, mango, and chipotle pepper in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper, then puree until smooth. Scrape the sauce into a bowl and add the pork, tossing to coat.
• Thread 6 wooden skewers with alternating pieces of pineapple and pork.
• Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Drizzle the skewers with oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the skewers, rotating as needed and basting with any leftover mango sauce as you rotate, until the pork is cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
