The most popular party food in Hong Kong

Tweet

I went for a picnic with my friends last Saturday and shared with my friends the most popular party food in Hong Kong, Pineapple and Sausage Skewers. They loved them just as my Hong Kong friends and I did.

When I was young, I had Pineapple and Sausage Skewers for every school Christmas party, and most birthday parties. It is the simplest party food to make, yet the taste never fails anyone. 

Pineapple & Sausage Skewers

Sweet, slightly sour pineapple is a perfect match for the savoury sausage, giving you three delicious tastes in one bite. Plus, the juicy fruit brings out the meat aroma of the sausage so well that you know you are enjoying the best of both ingredients.

Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: About 36 skewers

Ingredients:
Pineapple: 450g 
Sausage: 450g 

Directions:

1. Cut the sausage into 1-1/2 inch pieces. Cut the pineapple into 1-1/2 inch chunks. Keep the pineapple juice.

2. Put sausage pieces into a pot of boiling water and boil until they float in the water (about 3 minutes). Let stand at room temperature until cool. [You may also use cooked cocktail sausages and skip this step.]

3.  Thread 1 or 2 pieces of sausage onto skewers (or toothpicks) alternatively with 1 or 2 pieces of pineapple. Drizzle pineapple juice over the skewers. 

4. Refrigerate the skewers until served.
