• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup, finely chopped fresh pineapple

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 6 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 2 tsp ground allspice, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp dried oregano, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create a marinade.
