Asian Grilled Pork with Caramelised Pineapple and Coconut Rice

See all recipes
There are a number of steps to this delicious pork dish but they are all worth it. The result is a very aromatic meal, with a different flavour combination to what would traditionally be served with a pork chop.

Ingredients

  • For the Pork
  • 4 free range pork medallions or chops
  • 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon tamari
  • 4 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
  • 1 small knob ginger, finely grated
  • For the Pineapple
  • 4 slices fresh pineapple, 1cm thick, peeled not cored
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • For the Sauce
  • ¼ cup Thai basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • For the Coconut Rice
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 x 400ml tin coconut milk
  • 1 cup water, Pinch of salt
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut

Method

1.

Marinate the pork medallions in a shallow container with the honey, half the kecap manis, tamari and fresh ginger. Cover and set aside.

2.

Marinate the pineapple with the brown sugar, remaining kecap manis, ginger, cumin, and white pepper.

3.

Make the Thai basil dressing by blending the basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small blender or in a small container with a stick blender. Rinse the rice thoroughly in a bowl, drain. Combine coconut milk, water, lime leaves, sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add rice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Keep warm.

4.

Preheat the BBQ or grill to medium-low. Slowly cook the pineapple for 15-20 minutes each side or until soft and caramelised. Remove, cover and set aside.

5.

Grill the pork each side for 6-8 minutes. Remove. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

6.

Serve the pork with the rice and pineapple and drizzle over a little of the basil dressing.
