PORK & PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cut half the pineapple into 12 cubes. Roughly chop remaining pineapple and purée in a food processor or blender. In a mixing bowl, combine pork with puréed pineapple, soya sauce and ginger paste, massaging to coat evenly.
• Preheat barbecue to medium. Thread pork onto bamboo skewers alternating with pineapple, onion and bacon, making 4 skewers.
• Season skewers with salt and pepper and grill with lid closed, turning every 4 to 5 min., until pork is cooked through, 15 to 17 min.

GRILLED PORK AND PINEAPPLE KABOBS

Steps:

• Combine pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, lime juice, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic in a large resealable bag. Seal and shake up to combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• While the pork is marinating, soak skewers in water for about 20 minutes prior to using them. That will help the skewers to not burn up when exposed to the flame.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with a small amount of vegetable oil.
• Thread the skewers with marinated pork, pineapple, and red pepper, alternating back and forth; discard the marinade.
• Cook skewers on the preheated grill until they obtain grill marks and the pork is no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

• 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.

• 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.
