Ingredients

  • Coriander: small bunch coriander, chopped (optional)
  • Spring Onion: 4 spring onions, trimmed and cut into 4 equal lengths
  • Cider Vinegar: 60ml cider vinegar
  • Fish Sauce: 1 tsp fish sauce
  • Green Pepper: 1 green pepper, deseeded and cut into squares (optional)
  • Pineapple: 1/2 small pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks (or use ready prepped fresh pineapple, drained well)
  • Light Muscovado Sugar: 4 tbsp light muscovado sugar
  • Pork Fillet: 400g pork fillet
  • Cooked Rice: cooked rice or pitta, to serve

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Heat the barbecue. If you are using coals, wait until they turn white. If you are indoors, heat agriddle pan. Thread the pork and pineapple onto skewers, alternating pieces with the pepper and spring onion.
  3. 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.
