drunken pineapple and polynesian pork
(1 rating)
I was given a whole pineapple and a package of pork chunks, and thought this would be a good use, and I could use my new toy, my stove top grill. The whole sh bang cooks up quickly, but I like to marinate both the pork and the pineapple early in the day to give the flavors a chance to marry. Chicken would be a good choice for this also. If you want to do this in the oven and have a sauce, just double the pork marinade, use half to marinate, use the other half to finish the pork in the oven, Probably still going to sear on the stove top first for color with this method.

How To Make drunken pineapple and polynesian pork
-
1Peel, slice and core the pineapple and place in a single layer in a glass flat container. I had to overlap a few pieces, that's ok.
-
2Sprinkle the rum, brown sugar, teriyaki, and salt over the pineapple, rub the brown sugar in, and turn the pieces over. Several times through the day I give this a turn.
-
3Put the onion in a gallon zip lock bag. Add the pork.
-
4Mix the marinade ingredients in a glass bowl, and pour over the pork, seal the bag and refrigerate. Several times during the day, I turn the bag.
-
5When ready to cook, put rice on to cook to package directions. Cous cous is another good option here.
-
6Either use your gas grill, or a stove top grill, grill the pork until done, getting a nice brown crust. Internal temp 160°.
-
7Grill the pineapple next, all you need is grill marks here.
-
8Serve the pork over rice, and with the grilled pineapple sices.
