Awesone Pork Kabob Recipe

It was a bit cold this morning while we did some yard work, but it turned out to be a nice warm, clear day. A perfect day for grilling. I found this recipe for pork kabobs on allrecipes.com, and it turned out to be a great one. Real tasty with a nice kick to it! Goes great with some couscous and corn on the side...

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 pound boneless pork loin, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 3 portobello mushrooms, cut into quarters
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 12 wedges
  • 12 cherry tomatoes

DIRECTIONS: In a shallow dish, mix together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add pork cubes, and turn to coat evenly with marinade.

Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes.Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread pork cubes onto skewers, alternating with mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, and pineapple chunks.Cook on grill for 15 minutes, or until meat is cooked through. Turn skewers, and baste often with sauce during cooking.
