      Title: Galloping Horses (Thai Appetizer)
 Categories: Oriental, Pork, Nuts, Chilies, Fruits
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1 tb Oil
      1 lb Ground pork
      4 cl Garlic; up to 8, fine chopped
      3    Green onions; white part
           - chopped
    3/4 c  Roasted, salted peanuts
      1    Fresh pineapple -OR-
      5    Tangerines -OR-
      4    Oranges
    1/3 c  Sugar
    1/2 ts Pepper
           Lettuce leaves
           Mint or coriander leaves
           Chilies; chopped
 
  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 1-2 minutes. Add peanuts, mix in
  well, then remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.
  
  Prepare 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 top leaves and outer skin, as thinly as
  possible, from 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 45° angle. Cut off bottom. Cut pineapple into about 5 or
  6 wedges and then cut each of those into 1/4" slices. Arrange fruit
  on platter.
  
  Mound meat mixture onto fruit, and decorate with other garnishes.
  
  Serve at room temperature, or chilled.
