Before you start
A blender or food processor will be very useful for this recipe.
Soak the wooden skewers for about 15 min before use to prevent them from burning while on the grill.
Method
- Using a sharp knife, trim any fat from the pork fillet, then cut it into 2 cm cubes and putthe cubes in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Crush half of the garlic and chop the onion, then place them in a blenderor food processor. Add the soy sauce, spices, half of the brown sugar, and a small piece of pineapple (about ¼ slice). Process until the mixture is almost smooth. Add the mixture to the pork, tossing well tocoat evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the pineapple slices into small "skewable" segments, then arrange the pineapple and pork alternately on the skewers.
- Cook the skewers on a medium-hot grill or under the broiler for about 10 min, turning them occasionally, until golden-brown and thoroughly cooked.
- While the satays are cooking, prepare the peanut sauce : pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and stir in the peanut butter. Add the remaining garlic, remaining brown sugar and a few teaspoons ofsoy sauce. Heat gently, stirring, until the sauce is smooth and hot. Keep it warm.
- Serve the skewers with the peanut sauce.

Wow!What a great recipe. Has a bit of an Indian flavour because of the spices but I love Indian food. If you don't have the coconut milk you could easily just make the skewers without the dipping sauce as they are very tasty and tender on their own.

This recipe is quick and delicious. The pork is tender, and the peanut sauce is an incredible compliment to the meat. We had a side of cauliflower, steamed, and put some of the sauce over the top...fantastic!

I found this disappointing. The cumin/tumeric combo on the meat meant my kids wouldn't eat more than 1 bite (should have seen that coming!), and I found the peanut/coconut sauce very bland. I wound up adding some soy sauce to the sauce to kick it up a bit.A good idea, but didn't work for my family.
