Jerk pork with salsa

SERVES 4

-

2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for brushing

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp finely grated ginger

2 tbsp soy sauce (gluten-free if required)

1 tsp ground cayenne

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground allspice

1 kg pork loin fillet

½ small ripe pineapple, cut into wedges

1 cup coriander leaves, to serve

JICAMA SALSA

1 jicama (about 300gm), peeled and finely diced

3 spring onions, thinly sliced

Juice of 2 limes, or to taste

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 long red chilli, finely chopped

1 Heat a barbecue to medium-high. Whisk oil, sugar, ginger, soy sauce and spices in a large bowl, add pork and turn to coat. Place a sheet of baking paper on barbecue flat plate to prevent burning. Cook pork on paper with hood down, turning occasional­ly and brushing with spice mixture, until cooked to your liking (8-10 minutes for medium). Alternativ­ely, cook pork in a char-grill pan over medium heat, turning occasional­ly and brushing with spice mixture, until cooked to your liking (15-18 minutes for medium). Cover pork with foil; set aside to rest (5 minutes).

2 Brush pineapple with oil and cook on barbecue or chargrill until lightly charred and caramelise­d (3 minutes each side).

3 For jicama salsa, toss ingredient­s in a bowl and season generously to taste. Thickly slice pork and serve with grilled pineapple, jicama salsa and coriander.
