Pork kebabs

[vbak]

Looking for a recipe for pork tenderloin kebabs. With a peanut dipping sauce? I tried the search, but as I waited I noticed some gray hairs developing!:) Any TnTs? What about sides?

TIA

I don't really do a lot of kebabs, but then I was thinking maybe a satay recipe would work for you? I usually make BC's Chicken Satay, but I don't see why you couldn't substitute pork. This is a highly-seasoned recipe, so I'd serve with some rice and maybe sauteed sugar snap peas and red bell pepper (and garlic!).

My favorite is not a satay but Korean and we love it. I have done it as kabobs and use a leaner cut than this original recipe (from Gourmet in 70s if I remember right):

Korean Pork Strips


1 lb. boned lean shoulder of pork, 1 1/2" x 3/4" wide
1/4 t cayenne pepper
2 1/2 T sugar
1/4 cup + 1 1/2 t soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped scallions
2 T sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 t ground ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 T sesame oil
Recipe


Sprinkle the strips with cayenne and toss them in sugar
In a bowl combine soy sauce, scallions, sesame seeds, toasted, ginger, and garlic.
Add meat strips; let them marinate for 1 hr. Drain
Brush them with sesame oil and grill them over hot coals or broil them for 5 min. on each size.
Serves 8

I'm so glad you had a few hits on this thread. I saw it yesterday, but was hesitant to offer my contribution because it didn't exactly match what you asked for, and sometimes people take HEAT here for not paying attention! :eek:

The following Penzeys Spices recipe for Turkish kabobs is awesome with pork. I made this many times last summer, complete with the Greek yogurt dipping sauce and the onions topped with sumac. Great in a pita wrap.

I usually thin the yogurt with a little rice wine vinegar and add salt and pepper. Those spring onions from the farmers market that look like giant scallions are the best accompaniament.

Thank you. Now I just have to decide on which one!
