PORK AND PINEAPPLE KEBABS WITH SWEET-AND-SOUR SAUCE
Steps:
- In a large bowl whisk together the red-wine vinegar, the garlic paste, and the red pepper flakes, add the vegetable oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the marinade until it is emulsified. Add the pork, stirring to coat it with the marinade, and let it marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In a bowl whisk together the ketchup, the distilled vinegar, the sugar, the soy sauce, the salt, and the sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved and reserve the sauce.
- Drain the pork, reserving the marinade, and thread it and the pineapple, alternating them, onto the skewers, using 4 pieces of pork and 3 pieces of pineapple on each skewer. Brush the kebabs with some of the reserved marinade and grill them on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, basting them for the first 10 minutes with the reserved marinade and turning them, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pork is just cooked through but still juicy. Brush the kebabs with the reserved sweet-and sour sauce and grill them, turning them, for 2 minutes more. (Discard any remaining marinade; do not serve it as an accompaniment.)

- If using wooden skewers pre-soak 1 hour before using, and you will need 14.
- In a large bowl whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, soy, ginger, salt and sesame oil.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits and vegetables will give your kebabs the best flavor. If you can, buy organic produce.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and pineapple juice will help to tenderize it and give it a delicious flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your kebabs. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
- Cook the kebabs over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pork from overcooking and drying out.
- Serve the kebabs with a dipping sauce: A sweet and sour sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try a teriyaki sauce or a hoisin sauce.
