Brine-Cured Pork Kabobs with Jalapenos and Pineapple image

These delicious kabobs combine cubes of brine-cured pork with pineapple chunks and hot peppers. Brine-curing the pork makes it soft, tender, and juicy. The pork is cut into small pieces so it only needs to be cured for four hours.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a good quality pork loin or shoulder. This cut of meat is tender and flavorful, and it will hold up well to the brining process.
  • Make sure to thoroughly brine the pork for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • If you don't have time to brine the pork overnight, you can still make this recipe. Just reduce the brining time to 2 hours.
  • When grilling the kabobs, be sure to cook them over medium heat. This will help to prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Serve the kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

These brine-cured pork kabobs with jalapenos and pineapple are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the jalapenos and pineapple add a nice kick of heat and sweetness. These kabobs are perfect for a summer cookout or party.
