- Grill pan
This is the meat you find hanging above charcoal on every street corner in the Philippines: cubes of pork on a skewer, coated in a sweet, dark glaze. The banana ketchup in the marinade gives it that distinctive colour and creates sweet edges that turn almost black.
Only brush the skewers with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes. If you do it right away, the sugar will burn before the meat is cooked through, leaving you with a bitter exterior. That final layer is exactly what you want to see glistening when they come off the grill.
A grill pan works perfectly at home. You’ll miss the smoky flavour, but the meat will be just as tender, especially if you marinate it overnight.
