EASY PORK SKEWERS (GRILLED, OVEN OR GRIDDLE)

Steps:

• PREPARE THE PORK SKEWERS1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes. 2. Make a marinade by mixing the marinade ingredients. In a non-reactive container or freezer bag combine the cubed pork with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to overnight. Bring to room temperature before cooking. 3. Cut the onion into thick chunks similar in size to the size of the pork cubes. Thread the skewers** by alternating onions and pork. GRILLED PORK SKEWERS1. Heat your gas grill to medium-hot and lightly brush with oil before you place the skewers on. For charcoal grill wait until the coals turn white. Alternatively heat up a lightly greased grill pan or a griddle over medium-high heat. 2. Place the skewers onto the hot surface. Grill on all sides until the pork cubes are tender and nicely charred. Be patient before you lift them to turn them for the very first time - initially the meat is likely to stick to the surface and will gradually release as it begins to char. OVEN BAKED PORK SKEWERS1. Preheat your oven to 375 - 400 F depending on how strong you know it to be. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the skewers on top about 1 inch apart. 2. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pork is tender, turning once or twice. Turn on the broiler and broil the skewers for the last couple of minutes for a nicely browned finish. Turn frequently to make sure the surface doesn't burn. Serve the skewers garnished with fresh herbs and charred lemon - a little citrusy squeeze really brightens up the flavors of the pork skewers. Remind everyone to handle them with caution - the ends will be hot!

QUEBEC MAPLE PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Blend all the ingredients for the marinade except the salt. Put the pork cubes in a large freezer bag, then put the marinade on top of the pork. Remove excess air from the bag and blend it well so all the pork cubes are covered in the marinade. Put the bag in the fridge for 6 hours or for the night.
• Use metal skewers to do this recipe.
• Set your oven on Broil. Put the pork & vegetables that you selected (I recommend bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.) on your metal skewers. Put in the oven for 10-20 min (it depends of the force of your oven). Turn the skewers half-time so they'll cooked uniformly. Salt to taste before serving. If you salt the skewers before cooking them, the meat will loose a lot of juices, we don't want that! ;-).
• Serve on hot cooked rice or couscous.
• Bon appétit!
