After doing the weekly shop, I spotted a bargain in a Pork Fillet. It is a great piece of meat to start with and I’m often surprised at it’s price. I wanted to do something different with it. I spotted an idea for a barbecue item, but in the middle of January we grilled it instead.

Notes
The Pineapple and Pork (HuuuuHH… Pineapple Pork), is a surprising combination with a chilli kick. It was a refreshing mix. We had a bit of chilli pineapple left over, which I just grilled and ate by itself.
The Sag Aloo, wasn’t as spicy as I had hoped for so maybe a dash of chilli powder may pep it up a little. It was however a very easy addition to the meal. The Potato water thickens up into a sauce texture. Keep an eye on it though as you don;t want it to boil dry. You may need to top up with a little water.
