Juicy pork skewers paired with fluffy couscous for an easy and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
  • 600g pork fillet, cut into 2.5cm cubes
  • 5cm piece ginger, peeled, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 52.50 gm salt-reduced soy sauce
  • 1/2 (about 550g) pineapple, peeled, cut into 2.5cm cubes
  • 1 red capsicum, deseeded, cut into 2.5cm cubes
  • 1 green capsicum, deseeded, cut into 2.5cm cubes
  • 375.00 ml couscous
  • 375.00 gm boiling water
  • 187.50 ml coriander leaves, chopped
  • 65.63 gm lemon juice
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
Instructions:
  • Submerge skewers in a shallow dish of cold water for 30 minutes, then remove and drain off excess water.
  • In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine pork with ginger, sesame oil, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Mix well and cover. Refrigerate for 1 hour, if possible. Thread pork onto skewers, alternating with pineapple and capsicum.
  • In a heatproof bowl, add couscous and pour boiling water over it. Cover with foil and let it sit for 3 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate grains, then mix in coriander, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a sizzling chargrill or barbecue to high heat, then lower to medium. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of flavorful olive oil. Grill skewers for 8 to 9 minutes, flipping occasionally, until perfectly cooked.
  • Combine the remaining soy sauce, lemon juice, and oil. Place couscous on plates, top with skewers, then drizzle with the soy mixture before serving.
