Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salt-reduced tomato sauce

- 4 cups steamed rice (from 2 cups uncooked rice), to serve
Method
- Mix sauces and vinegar in a small bowl. Add pork, stir to coat, cover and refrigerate marinated pork for as long as time permits, from 30 minutes to overnight.
- To prevent burning, cover skewers in a shallow bowl with water.
- Preheat barbecue grill on high heat.
- Thread pork and vegetables alternately onto skewers, ending with mushrooms.
- Spray skewers with oil and barbecue each side for 2 minutes until pork is cooked through, basting kebabs with remaining marinade occasionally.
- Transfer to plates and serve with rice.
Hint
Skewered kebabs can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to barbeque.
Alternatives
- Replace fresh pineapple with pineapple chunks canned in natural juice.
