These tasty skewers are easy to put together and can be assembled a few hours ahead and cooked when you are ready. They make a great starter or are also perfect for a main course. You can substitute chicken, beef, lamb or prawns for the pork or omit the pork and make them vegetarian and vegan friendly or just make a few without the pork. If you are omitting the pork, use the marinade to brush on the skewers before cooking and also towards the end of cooking to infuse them with flavour.

TIP There are several ingredients for the marinade, however it is pretty easy to make and well worth the effort. Once you have removed the pork from the marinade reserve it and later you can gently bring the marinade to a boil in a small pan stirring constantly to cook the garlic and pork juices. You will need to add approx. ¼ – ½ cup water or pineapple juice to thin as you cook it. You can serve as a dipping sauce.

NOTE You need approx. 1¼ kilo boneless pork or chicken breast. Cut the pork or chicken into approx. 2.5cm pieces, similar in size to your pineapple chunks. You can add zucchini pieces to the skewers, if you like.
