When I think of Hawaiian food I think about fresh flavors, basic prep work, and vivid ingredients. We accomplished with this recipe.
HAWAIIAN GRILLED PORK KABOBS
You can use basically any type of kind of pork to make this recipe. We found a good deal on a pork loin at our local food store. (Half was made use of for this recipe.).
The food of Hawaii has a solid Asian influence, so we made use of soy sauce and ginger.
The star of the marinade that really comes through in the food preparation is pineapple. The acid in pineapple tenderizes the pork and makes it additional juicy. Just envision that sweet and tasty pineapple on barbequed pork. If your mouth isn’t watering yet … KEEP IN MIND: Because of the enzymes in fresh pineapple, it is advised to use CANNED PINEAPPLE for this recipe.
We used comparable wonderful and tart ingredients like honey and cider vinegar to improve that flavor.
Make certain to use chili sauce. (It is in the ketchup section at the food store, and looks a lot like cocktail sauce. It resembles an actually zesty, thick catsup.).
Blend with each other every one of your marinate ingredients and put it over the pork loin cubes. Throw the meat well to ensure all pieces are well covered in the Hawaiian sauce. Seal tightly, refrigerate, and marinade a minimum of an hour, yet up to over night.
Carefully skewer the marinated pork, rotating with onion and vibrantly colored bell peppers. Do not hesitate to use your favorite veggies. (Zucchini, mushrooms, fresh pineapple, tomatoes … all are outstanding for this recipe.).
KEEP IN MIND: If you utilize fresh pineapple, just use it on the skewers AFTER marinating the meat. The meat sauce must just make use of canned pineapple.
Heat grill to high, after that decrease warmth to around 400 degrees. Place the shish kebabs on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turn, and repeat up until all sides are well browned and pork is cooked through. Do not overcook them. You do not want your Hawaiian grilled pork shish kebabs to be completely dry.
We made use of steel skewers since they are easier to work with. If you are utilizing wood bamboo skewers, I advise you saturate them in water for 15 mins prior to you utilize them. This helps avoid burning.
