PORK CUT TO USE

Selecting the appropriate piece of meat is the first step in creating delicious pig barbecue. For this meal, pork belly and shoulder (sometimes called Boston butt) are great choices. Because of their excellent meat-to-fat ratio, these cuts guarantee that the barbecue stays flavourful and tender after grilling.

Pork tenderloin is a fantastic substitute if you want your meat leaner. Just be aware that it cooks more quickly and needs to be watched carefully to prevent overcooking.

WHAT IS BANANA KETCHUP

A popular condiment in the Philippines, banana ketchup is created with mashed bananas, sugar, vinegar, and spices. It’s a great addition to BBQ marinades because of its sweet and tart flavour. This special ingredient gives the pork BBQ a great twist and improves its flavour.

Regular tomato ketchup with a little sugar added for sweetness can be used in place of banana ketchup if you can’t find it.

PORK BBQ RECIPE

Here’s a step-by-step cooking instructions to make Pork BBQ.

INGREDIENTS:

PORK:

• 2 pounds of pork shoulder or belly, cut into 1-inch cubes
• Bamboo or metal skewers (soaked in water if using bamboo)

MARINADE:

• 1 cup banana ketchup
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for spice)
• 1 tablespoon calamansi juice (or lemon juice)
• 1 tablespoon oil

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

• Combine the calamansi juice, oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, soy sauce, banana ketchup, and chilli flakes (if using) in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly blended.
• Make sure all of the pork cubes are well coated by adding them to the marinade. For optimal flavour, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• To ensure consistent cooking, thread the marinated pork pieces onto skewers, allowing a tiny space between them.
  Set your grill’s temperature to medium-high. Wait until the coals are red and covered in a coating of white ash if you’re using charcoal.
• Put the skewers on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until the pork is cooked through and has a hint of sear. For extra flavour, baste the pork while it’s grilling with the leftover marinade.
  After taking the skewers off the grill, give them some time to rest. Serve hot, accompanied by your preferred side dishes or dipping sauce.
