Galloping Horses (Thai Appetizer)

Recipe Instructions Grind peanuts. Heat oil in a frying pan, add pork, garlic and onions. Cook until pink color disappears. Drain off most of the fat. Add sugar and pepper, cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add ground peanuts, mix all well, then remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. Prepare a serving platter, lining with lettuce leaves. Peel and segment the citrus fruit, if used, cutting each segment down to the back and fanning open to form a circle. If using pineapple, cut off the top leaves and outer skin, as thinly as possible, from the top down. Look at the "eye" pattern as it forms a spiral down the pineapple. Cut the spirals with a sharp knife held at about a 45F angle. Cut off bottom. Cut pineapple into about 5 or 6 wedges, and then cut each of those into 1/4 inch slices. Arrange fruit on platter. Mound meat mixture onto fruit, and decorate with other garnishes. Serve either chilled or at room temperature.
