Pineapple Pork Kabobs With Healthier Hawaiian Macaroni Salad Recipes

PINEAPPLE & PORK KABOBS

Steps:

• In a large, glass or ceramic bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, lime juice, olive oil, and brown sugar. Add the chopped onions and stir to mix. Add the pork, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight, stirring several times during soaking.
• Trim and core the pineapple (or use commercially available fresh pineapple). Cut the fruit into 1 1/2 to 2 inch chunks. You will have about 4 cups of cubes, or about 18 cubes.
• Thread the pork, pineapple, peppers and onions on six 12-inch skewers. Each skewer should have approximately 6 cubes of meat and 3 cubes of pineapple. Discard the marinade.
• Grill for 12 to 15 minutes, turning several times, or until the meat reaches the desired degree of doneness and the pineapple is lightly charred. To check for doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into a thick piece of meat. The thermometer should register 155°F or slightly higher.
• Remove the pork, pineapple and vegetables from the skewers and serve.

HAWAIIAN CHICKEN KABOBS

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken and pineapple alternately onto skewers. Grill 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until chicken juices run clear.

HAWAIIAN PORK AND PINEAPPLE KABOBS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• 1. In a large resealable bag, add the pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, lime juice, sriracha, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Seal and shake up to combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. 2. While the pork is marinating, if using bamboo skewers, pre-soak them in water for about 20 minutes prior to using them. That will help the skewers to not burn up when exposed to the flame. 3. Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan, and lightly grease the grates with a small amount of vegetable oil, or nonstick cooking spray. 4. Thread the skewers with the marinated pork, fresh pineapple, and red pepper, alternating back and forth; discard the marinade. 5. Grill for about 2 minutes on each side, getting grill marks and until fully cooked. 6. Garnish with the green onions and sesame seeds.
