INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/4 lb pork fillet (tenderloin)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 4 tbsp soy sauce
• finely grated rind of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp molasses
• 8 oz can pineapple chunks, or 1 small fresh pineapple, peeled and diced
• parsley, to garnish
• For the satay sauce:
• 3/4 cup coconut milk
• 1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp molasses

DIRECTIONS

• Trim any fat from the pork fillet and cut it into 1 in. cubes. Place the meat in a large bowl. Place the onion, garlic, soy sauce, lemon rind, spices and sugar in a blender or food processor. Add two pieces of pineapple and process until the mixture is well combined and almost smooth.
• Add the paste to the pork, tossing well to coat evenly. Thread the pieces of pork on to bamboo skewers, with the remaining pineapple chunks. Preheat the broiler or light the barbecue.
• To make the satay sauce, pour the coconut milk into a small pan and stir in the peanut butter. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and heat gently on the stove or over the barbecue, stirring until smooth and hot. Cover and keep warm.
• Cook the pork and pineapple skewers under the broiler or on a medium-hot barbecue for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Garnish with parsley and serve with the satay sauce.
