Ingredients

30-40 minutes (10-15 minute cook time; 20 minute prep time)

4 servings

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch fresh ginger, minced or grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey (or Truvia, agave nectar, etc)
• 1 lb boneless pork chops (if bone in, cut off fat and bone), 1 inch cubes
• 1 yellow onion (I used a shallot because I didn't have an onion on hand)
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 - 20 oz can pineapple chunks (or pre-cut fresh pineapple chunks from produce section)
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 bunch cilantro
• sriracha, or other hot sauce to taste (optional)

Individual serving

• 1/2 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 inch fresh ginger, minced or grated
• 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 tablespoon honey
• 3 - 4 oz boneless pork chop
• 1/4 yellow onion
• 1/4 green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
• salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon cilantro

Directions

1. If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning in broiler or grill. (I didn’t use skewers so if not using, skip this step)
2. Mix marinade by mincing the garlic cloves and onion into a bowl or large Ziplock bag. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp honey and stir or mix to combine.
3. Prepare black beans by adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pot and 2 cloves minced garlic, add 1 minced jalapeno. Saute for 1 minute then add ½ teaspoon cumin. Saute for another minute. Add black beans, stir and heat through.
4. Chop pork into 1 inch cubes. Place cubed pork into bowl or Ziplock bag with marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Dice the onion and bell pepper into 1 inch pieces. Place into a bowl. Drain juice from pineapple and mix the pineapple chunks into bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
6. If using skewers: thread the skewers alternating with pieces of onion, pepper, pineapple and pork. Set skewers on a sheet pan if using the broiler option on an oven.
• If using broiler: adjust oven rack so that the skewers will be about 5 inches from the top of the oven/broiler. Then preheat the broiler on high for 5 minutes. Add sheet pan with skewers and cook for 5 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Rotate and return for 5 minutes, repeat until skewers are evenly browned on all sides.
• If using a grill: preheat grill to medium heat. Place skewers on grill and rotate/flip to ensure skewers are evenly cooked.
7. If not using skewers: add pork and marinade mixture to skillet on medium heat. (No need to add cooking oil at this point because there is oil in the marinade mixture). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until pork is cooked all the way through.
8. Add vegetables into skillet with pork, stirring frequently to coat. Cook like this for 3-4 minutes. Then cover the skillet with lid to steam vegetables.
9. Chop cilantro finely and add to a small bowl for garnishing.
10. Serve with brown rice, cauliflower rice, couscous, etc. Garnish the kebabs or stir fry with chopped cilantro and sriracha (or other hot sauce). Enjoy!
