• Marinade
• Skewers
• Pineapple chunks
• White onion wedges

Preparation

Marinade

1. Whisk all marinade ingredients in a bowl until well combined.

Pork and Assembly

1. Place pork with marinade in a resealable bag and combine well. Marinate in the fridge for 8 hrs or overnight.
2. Thread each piece of pork onto the skewer in a coiled, overlapping fashion, piercing it several times to secure. Follow it with pineapple chunks, an onion wedge, more pork (pictured is pork, pineapple, pork, onion, pork, and pineapple). Make skewers with remaining pork, pineapple, and onion.
3. Grill over high heat, monitoring and turning for 5-10 minutes, and then move skewers to indirect heat covered for an additional 20-30 minutes, occasionally turning.
4. Enjoy with optional extra sauce. (See Tips)

Tips

Soak your skewers for 10 minutes if you’re using bamboo. 

If you’d like to turn the marinade into a sauce or glaze, after marinating pour off excess into a small saucepan and simmer over medium low for 10-15 minutes until it reaches desired consistency.
