Method

  • step 1

    Mix together the pork, jerk seasoning, allspice, chilli sauce, if using, lime zest and juice, and some seasoning. Thread the pork and pineapple onto metal skewers (or pre-soaked wooden skewers) and brush with the oil.

  • step 2

    Cook rice following pack instructions. Drain well, then put back in the saucepan with the beans, stir and keep warm.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until very hot. Cook the skewers for 3 mins on each side until nicely charred and the pork is cooked through. Serve skewers with the beans and rice, extra chilli sauce, if you like, and lime wedges for squeezing over.

I have cooked this recipe quite a lot over the years and it's always popular, I don't have ground allspice so I just leave it out. I use wooden skewers which I can trim to fit my frying pan. If I can't get fresh pineapple I use tinned.

Allspice is usually available along with the other spices in a supermarket and is a good addition.

Timings for this recipe are very off, but it is a good recipe none the less and tasted very nice.

Really nice, but they took much longer to cook than recommended in the recipe (and my pieces were smaller than 4cm cubes), so the pineapple was a bit more than just charred. Had the leftovers cold for lunch today and they were even better. I'll definitely make them again.

Made just the skewers yesterday and BBQ'd them. Added a tsp of ginger and sugar to the mix and they were outstanding. Definately a BBQ staple now.

Surely the rice would be better as rice and peas?

The dish known as rice and peas is a Caribbean dish and it is not made with the green peas we use here in the U.K. It is traditionally made with pigeon peas, which are not always available, so red kidney beans are often used and black beans, if you can get them are a fine substitute.
