Grilled Pork + Vegetable Skewers
Try these delicious grilled pork + veggie skewers this summer when you’re in need of a quick, healthy meal! Stop by the Venice Farmers Market every Saturday and pick up your weekly vegetables from our vendors C+F Produce, Dusty’s Produce, or Fresh Harvest… and be sure to grab your pork from our local pork vendor, Red’s Farm! You can find many of the ingredients listed below at our market each week as well, including the olive oil and honey from Earth’s Complete or Jamie’s Jams. We’ll see you on Saturday, happy shopping!
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the pork, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to coat the pork.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the pork and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between pieces.
Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Serve immediately.
Tips:
For a more flavorful marinade, use a good quality balsamic vinegar.
If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers instead. Just be sure to oil them lightly to prevent sticking.
If you don't have any red pepper flakes, you can omit them.
You can also add other vegetables to your skewers, such as zucchini, mushrooms from our vendor Petrichor Mushroom, or tomatoes.
Serve the grilled pork skewers with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or salad.
