Skinny Orange Pork And Pineapple On The Grill Food

PORK AND PINEAPPLE GRAIN BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the pineapple until well marked, about 2 minutes per side; let cool. Dice the pineapple and mix with the pico de gallo; set aside.
• Season the pork with salt, then rub with the chile powder and 1 teaspoon cumin. Grill, covered, turning every 4 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the farro and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the farro is tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Make the vinaigrette: Whisk the lime juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
• Divide the farro, spinach, cabbage and avocado among bowls. Thinly slice the pork and add to the bowls. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with the pineapple salsa.

SWINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For a gas grill (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For a charcoal grill, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple with a sharp knife and set the pieces aside. Remove the peel from the pineapple, cutting it off in strips. Using a paring knife, carefully hollow out the pineapple to a 3/4-inch-thick shell.
• Stuff the pineapple with the ribs. Place the top and bottom pieces back on the pineapple and secure them in place with 4 long bamboo skewers.
• Place a large piece of parchment on your work surface. Arrange 6 slices bacon horizontally on the parchment. The edges of the slices should touch but not overlap. Working with the remaining 6 slices, weave the bacon in an over-under pattern by lifting alternating slices of the horizontal bacon and vertically placing a slice of bacon over or under as needed to create a woven lattice design. Wrap the bacon lattice around the pineapple and secure it in place with 8 long bamboo skewers. Trim the protruding skewer tips down to 1/2 inch lengths with kitchen shears.
• Put the swineapple on the grill over the drip pan with the bacon seam-side down. Cover the grill and cook until the bacon is crispy and golden brown and the meat is hot in the center, about 1 hour. Transfer to a cutting board. Remove the skewers and slice the pineapple into rings for serving.

GRILLED PORK TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the chiles on a microwave-safe plate and microwave until fragrant and pliable, about 10 seconds (or toast in a small dry skillet over medium heat). Remove the stems, then tear the chiles and transfer to a blender. Add the vegetable oil, 1 pineapple slice, the orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Puree until smooth.
• Trim the pork, then halve crosswise and lengthwise to create 4 pieces. Put in a shallow dish, add the chile puree and turn to coat; let marinate, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the onion in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water; transfer to a bowl. Stir in the lime juice and a big pinch each of salt and pepper; set aside.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates, then transfer the pork and remaining 2 pineapple slices to the grill. Cover the grill and cook, turning the pineapple and pork occasionally, until the pineapple is well marked, about 4 minutes, and the pork is just cooked through and lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Chop the pineapple and add to the onion mixture along with the chopped cilantro; season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork and the avocado. Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Fill with the pork, pineapple mixture, avocado and cilantro leaves.

• Put the pork tenderloins in a shallow pan and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
• To make the Orange-Ginger Sauce: Melt the marmalade in a small pan. Add the ginger, soy sauce, cider vinegar, and mustard, stirring to combine; keep warm.
• Prepare the grill with a medium-hot fire.To gauge the heat, hold your hand palm down about 4 inches above the grill. If you can hold it there for only 5-6 seconds it means you have a medium hot fire.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and season it with salt and pepper. Grill, turning at least once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat reads 150F, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush with some of the Orange-Ginger Sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Allow the meat to rest on a cutting board tented with aluminum foil for a few minutes before slicing. Slice the meat 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal. Pass the remaining sauce at the table.

• Combine pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, lime juice, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic in a large resealable bag. Seal and shake up to combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• While the pork is marinating, soak skewers in water for about 20 minutes prior to using them. That will help the skewers to not burn up when exposed to the flame.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with a small amount of vegetable oil.
• Thread the skewers with marinated pork, pineapple, and red pepper, alternating back and forth; discard the marinade.
