Method
step 1
Put all the ingredients, except the pineapple, in a bowl and mix really well to ensure the pork is well coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight. Marinating the pork will ensure every bite is juicy and tender when cooked.
step 2
Soak 8-10 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes or use metal skewers. Remove the pork from the fridge about 20 minutes before you are ready to cook.
step 3
Skewer the pieces of pork alternately with chunks of pineapple until both are used up. Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat or cook over indirect heat on a BBQ.
step 4
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side (so 12-16 minutes in total), until the pork is caramelised and cooked through and the pineapple charred. Rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving.
