OREGANO & LEMON PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• For the marinade combine all ingredients in a resealable plastic bag or non-reactive bowl.
• Trim the pork of all visible fat and cut into 1 inch cubes. Place cubes in bag and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. (You can also toss the vegetables in if you like. Mushrooms and zucchini are especially good in absorbing the flavor.).
• In the meantime soak wooden skewers in water.
• Wash and cut vegetables for kebabs.
• Thread kebabs alternating between the pork cubes and vegetables. Depending on the size of your pork cubes and the length of the skewers, you will have 1 large or 2 small skewers per person.
• Place on indoor or outdoor grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

PORK KEBABS WITH PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Soak 4 wooden skewers in water 15 to 20 minutes to prevent scorching. Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the pork, bell peppers, red onion, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons cherry pepper brine, the oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; toss.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water; transfer the pasta to a large bowl and add the cherry peppers, the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons brine, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss.
• Thread the bell peppers, pork and red onion, alternating, onto the skewers. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the kebabs. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are well marked, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the basil, parsley and bocconcini to the bowl with the pasta; season with pepper and toss. Serve the kebabs with the pasta salad.
