So colourful and it must have tasted really good.
This does sound Hawaiian, but regardless of its origins, it sounds fantastic. I was just looking at my banana catch up in the fridge the other day wondering what uses I might fight for it. And here you are…
Just the name of this dish puts a smile on my face! Sounds so delicious; kinda similar to Chinese sweet and sour pork 🙂

We do cook quite a lot of dishes with pineapple. Even with sweet and sour dishes, sometimes we add pineapples too.
