Instructions

Step 1

Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs pork neck | 1 lb pineapples | 1 onion | 1 red bell pepper

Utensils: 2 knives | 2 cutting boards | wooden skewer

Cut pork neck into bite-sized pieces. Also cut 2/3 of the pineapple into bite-sized cubes, set 1/3 of the pineapple aside. Roughly cut one onion and one bell pepper into rectangles. On a skewer, alternate pork with one other ingredient at a time (pork, bell pepper, pork, pineapple, pork, onion, etc.). Do exactly the same for the other skewers until all ingredients are used up.

Step 2

Utensils: pot (small) | cooking spoon | immersion blender

Finely dice the other onion together with the other bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Cut the rest of the pineapple into small cubes as well, then sauté in a small pot with oil together with the vegetables. After about 2 minutes, add tomato paste and sugar. Then deglaze everything with brandy vinegar, soy sauce and water. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and chilli. Now let the sauce simmer for about 15 min. until it thickens. Puree everything with a hand blender.

Meanwhile, heat the grill or grill pan. Season the skewers with a little salt and sear on all sides, about 3-4 mins. per side, until the meat is cooked through. Serve the skewers alongside the sauce and enjoy!
