Meat on a spit in Melanesian style is an exquisite blend of spicy and sweet notes inspired by the traditions of the Pacific islands. Here, the freshness of pineapple meets the rich flavor of marinated beef, creating an amazing balance. Historically, the dish recalls cooking methods used in Melanesia where meat was often grilled over an open flame, absorbing the aromas of spices and fruits. Olives add a light spiciness while the marinating process makes the meat juicy and tender. Perfect for summer grilling or festive outdoor dinners.
