Preparation

Step 1

Heat grill to medium and lightly oil grates. Cook rice according to package instructions. When done, set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk honey and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice. Season with salt and pepper. Alternately thread pork and bell peppers onto skewers. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, brushing occasionally with honey mixture, until pork is cooked through and peppers begin to char, 10 to 15 minutes.

To the rice, add pineapple chunks, scallions, ginger and vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper, and fluff with a fork. Serve with kebabs and lime wedges.
