Mah-Haw (Thai Seasoned Pork on Pineapple) Recipe

Place peppercorns in a mortar and pound with a pestle until finely ground. Add cilantro root and garlic; pound until everything is mashed together well. Set aside.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook garlic paste until fragrant about 2 minutes. Add pork and cook stirring often until pork is cooked through and mixed well with garlic paste about 5 minutes. Season with fish sauce and palm sugar and stir until well combined. Mix in peanuts. Taste pork; it should taste savory with a hint of sweetness. Adjust seasonings if necessary.

Peel core and slice pineapple into 1-inch slices. Cut slices into bite-sized pieces and lay onto a serving dish. Top pineapple pieces with pork mixture. Garnish each pineapple piece with a cilantro leaf and a sliver of red chile pepper.
