Pineapple adds sweetness to these succulent, low-fat pork fillets.

1 tablespoon tamarind paste*
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons olive oil
750g lean pork fillets, trimmed of any fat and cut into 8cm lengths
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1/2 peeled fresh pineapple, chopped
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coriander leaves

Method

1.

Combine the tamarind, sugar and oil in a bowl. Rub mixture over the pork, then set aside for 10 minutes.
2.

Meanwhile, cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for about 1 minute, then drain. Place the peas, pineapple, ginger, red onion and coriander leaves in a bowl, then toss to combine.
3.

Preheat a chargrill or barbecue to medium-high. When hot, cook the pork fillets for 15-20 minutes until medium-rare (or until cooked to your liking). Slice thickly and serve with pineapple mixture.
