Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork loin fat trimmed
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple with juice
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup chili sauce
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 bell peppers

Instructions

  • Cut 2 pounds of pork loin into even sized cubes, about 1 – ½ inch each. Transfer to a large resealable bag or shallow dish.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together 1 cup crushed pineapple, ½ cup soy sauce, ½ cup honey, ¼ cup oil, ¼ cup chili sauce, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 cloves of minced garlic (or 2 frozen garlic cubes), and 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger (or 1 frozen ginger cube).
  • Pour over the pork, seal or cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Chop 1 large red onion into 1 inch sized chunks. Cut 2 bell peppers into similar sized pieces.
  • Carefully skewer the marinated pork with the vegetables onto metal or bamboo skewers. Alternate pork, pepper, onion and repeat until gone.
  • On a grill heated to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees), grill the skewers 3-4 minutes on each side. Rotate until all sides are cooked evenly and the pork is done and no longer pink. Avoid overcooking.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

SWAP SUGGESTIONS

  • Protein: Pork can be swapped for chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Vegetarian: Replace protein with extra veggies, cubed pineapple, or cubed Halloumi cheese.
