Jamaican Jerk Pork Skewers with Mango Salsa

Get ready for a flavor explosion with these Jamaican Jerk Pork Skewers topped with refreshing mango salsa! Perfect for grilling season.

Ingredients:

• 700 g pork tenderloin or pork shoulder, cut into cubes
• 2 tbsp Jamaican jerk seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp brown sugar or honey
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice (optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Wooden or metal skewers

For the salsa:

• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tbsp olive oil for salsa
• Salt, to taste
• Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

Directions:

1. Marinate the pork: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the jerk seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, allspice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the pork cubes in the marinade, ensuring they get a lovely coating. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes—longer if you want those flavors to really jam together!
2. Prepare the salsa: In another bowl, mix the diced mango, chopped red onion, bell pepper, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and your fresh herbs of choice. Combine everything gently and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
3. Assemble skewers: Grab your marinated pork cubes and thread them onto your skewers, spacing them evenly.
4. Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place those fabulous skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the pork is cooked through and has delightful char marks.
5. Serve: Once you take them off the grill, heap on that fresh mango salsa and enjoy them hot alongside rice, grilled veggies, or some warm flatbread. Happy grilling!
