500g jar sweet and sour sauce with extra pineapple
500g diced pork or pork fillet, cut into 2cm dice
1 red pepper, cut into 2cm dice
1 small can of pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1 bunch of spring onions, trimmed and cut into 2cm pieces
8 kebab skewers or 1 packet wooden skewers

Method

Put the meat into a bowl and mix with about a quarter of the sweet and sour sauce with extra pineapple. Leave to marinate for 1hr if possible, or while you prepare the other ingredients.
Next, make the kebabs by threading alternate pieces of pork, pineapple, spring onion and red pepper onto skewers, finishing with a piece of pork, if possible. Now either barbecue or grill the kebabs until well-cooked and slightly charred at the edges. This should take around 10 mins, turning them occasionally.
To serve: For a main meal serve on a bed of express long grain rice with the remainder of the jar of sweet and sour sauce with extra pineapple heated and poured over the kebabs, or on the side, to dip into.
For smaller kebabs: serve on a platter with a bowl of sweet and sour sauce with extra pineapple to dip into.
