Method

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

    Lovely recipe which I will make again soon, couldn't get black beans so used black eye beans but will try to get the black beans for next time.

    The pork and pineapple are delicious, however the rice needs something extra.

    The pork marinaded well and tasted yummy and succulent. I added 2tbsp of dessicated coconut to the rice and beans which helped to carribean'ise it a bit more. I found a chilli and spring onion recipe from this website http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/10967/caribbean-chicken-with-spring-onion-sauce and the whole combo was a hit.

    Surely the rice would be better as rice and peas?
