Ingredients
Skewers
1kg boneless pork belly, skin removed
1 Tbsp (15 ml) finely grated ginger
juice of 2 limes
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
1 tsp (5 ml) pepper
2 Tbsp (30 ml) red curry paste
1 x 400 ml tin coconut milk
1 fresh pineapple, cut into 2cm cubes
To Serve
small handful micro herbs (optional)
4-6 lime wedges for squeezing over
You’ll Need
15 cocktail skewers
Method
Skewers
Preheat the oven to 180 ºC.
Mix the garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, pepper, red curry paste and coconut milk together in a container with a lid. Add the pork to the marinade and seal. Let the pork marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Place the pork belly and the marinade into a deep roasting tray and cover it with foil. Place the tray into the oven and roast for 1½ hours. At this time, check if the meat is soft and tender, if not, place it back into the oven and cook for a further 30 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and pour the liquid into a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickened and reduced, about 15-30 minutes. Don’t over-reduce as this can cause the sauce to split.
Meanwhile, cut the pork belly into cubes roughly the same size as the pineapple.
Make the skewers by threading pork and pineapple alternately onto the skewers.
You can either grill the skewers on the braai, alternatively use a stovetop griddle pan over high heat. Turn often to caramelise evenly.
To Serve
Serve the skewers drizzled with the reduced coconut curry sauce, garnished with micro herbs, slices of fresh chilli and lime wedges for squeezing over.
