Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
10 bamboo skewers
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
3 cups cubed fresh pineapple
2 red bell peppers, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • Combine pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, lime juice, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic in a large resealable bag. Seal and shake up to combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

  • Thread the skewers with marinated pork, pineapple, and red pepper, alternating back and forth; discard the marinade.

2 1/4 oz - 1 small can sliced ripe black olives, drained

2 medium fresh red bell peppers, cut into 1 ½ -inch cubes or pieces
2/3 c prepared oil based italian dressing
10 bamboo skewers, pre-soaked in water to prevent burning

Steps:

  • 1. 1.) Prepare Mediterranean orzo pilaf. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large Dutch oven; stir in orzo. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cover. Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add green bell peppers, green onions and garlic; sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Drain any excess broth from orzo. Combine orzo and buttered sautéed vegetable mixture into a 2-quart round casserole dish, fold in diced tomatoes and sliced black olives; set aside.
  • 2. 2.) Wash out Dutch oven clean, dry inside out completely to prepare Southern Tamale leaves. Fill Dutch oven to 2-inches from rim with hot water. Bring water to a rapid boil. Turn off heat and add collard leaves. Let sit for 3 - 5 minutes. Quickly remove leaves from water and place leaves flat along side each other onto a few layers of paper towels. Place a large spoonful of Mediterranean orzo pilaf mixture in the center of each collard leaf. Fold the ends over the pilaf mixture to form a sealed packed. Secure each with toothpick for added protection. Place tamales onto a plate; set aside. Reserve remaining Mediterranean orzo pilaf to serve later with completed meal.

Brush each lightly with Italian dressing. Heat coal or gas grill for medium heat level. Place kabobs on lower rack of grill along side each other. Cover and grill kabobs over medium heat 10 minutes, turning and brushing with Italian dressing every 2 minutes. Add tamales onto outer edge or upper rack of grill and cook, for an additional 5 minutes longer for kabobs, brushing kabobs with Italian dressing and turning tamales one time within 2 ½ minutes, or until pork is no longer pink and vegetables plus tamales are tender.
  • 4. 4.) To serve, place grilled kabobs and tamales onto serving platters, along side of Mediterranean orzo pilaf, or serve even portions of each onto 6 individual serving plates.

Grilled, marinated pork kabobs image

Last night, I started some pork chunks marinating in my strawberry-mango-jalapeno-pepper-jelly Tonight I simply threaded them on a branch (Don't get me started on where my kabob rods are) along with some onion and added a bbq sauce while they cooked.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork tenderloin and pork loin are both good choices for kabobs. They are both lean and tender, and they cook quickly.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices is always a good choice.
  • Use wooden skewers: Wooden skewers are the best choice for kabobs because they do not heat up as much as metal skewers. This helps to prevent the pork from overcooking.
  • Soak the skewers: Soaking the skewers in water for 30 minutes before using them helps to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat: Cooking the kabobs over medium heat helps to prevent the pork from drying out.
  • Turn the kabobs frequently: Turning the kabobs frequently helps to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Let the kabobs rest: Letting the kabobs rest for a few minutes before serving helps to keep them juicy.
