Smoked pork, pineapple & red pepper kebabs

It’s holiday time and then we don’t want to put a lot of effort into preparing food. Yet we still want to eat well. In today’s post we make a fire again and prepare a quick but tasty meal on the fire.

In South Africa a kebab is also called a ‘sosatie’, another traditional South African dish which originated in the Cape Malay area.

Typically, it consists of lamb or mutton cut into cubes and marinated. It is then skewered and cooked over the fire. However, we are going to show you our own version of the kebab today.

Put it on the table:

We are going to use three ingredients that we really like and then drizzle the kebab with a delicious sauce.

Main Ingredients:

Main ingredients for our favourite kebab

1 red pepper

1 pineapple

salt & pepper to taste

Pork, pineapple and red pepper cut into cubes and skewered

Sauce Ingredients:

2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons white vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons sweet & sour sauce

Pour all the sauce ingredients together and mix well

We bought an already prepared garlic bread and placed it on the coals.

Because the pork is already halfway cooked, it only needs a short time on the coals. Baste it frequently with the sauce until the pork, pineapple and red pepper begin to brown.

Kebabs on the fire

After about 20 minutes on the fire, the kebabs should be ready and the smell will alert the neighbours that there is something delicious on the menu.

After the kebabs and garlic bread were ready, we served these together with a pot of curried beans. How easy was that?

Light summer meal

We hope you enjoy this simple but flavourful meal. It might just be the perfect dish to turn your new neighbours into great friends.
