Pork And Bacon Skewers Food

BARBECUED PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Slice the pork shoulder in half lengthwise. Cut each piece across into thin, 1/8-inch slices.
• Transfer pork to a mixing bowl and add garlic, onion, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and cayenne. Mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and transfer into a refrigerator for 4 hours, or up to overnight.
• Preheat an charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Weave pork slices on metal skewers, folding the longer pieces in half as you go. Slices should be pressed snugly together as you build the skewer.
• Grill skewers over the hot charcoal until browned and no longer pink, turning frequently, about 30 minutes. Brush on barbecue sauce and turn skewers several times so the sauce caramelizes, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Serve immediately.

PORK RANCH AND BACON SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut up Pork into 1 inch cubes, put into a bowl and pour your Ranch Dressing in. Mix up and marinade for 1-3 hours Also while your meat marinades, be sure and soak your skewers in water if they are wood..this is so that they don't catch on fire while grilling.
• Now gather up the rest of your ingredients...Onion and Bacon...pat the excess Ranch off of the Pork with paper towels.
• Cut onion so that you have some slices to put at each end of the Skewers. Now begin to thread onto Skewer!
• First the onion, then the Bacon...just the end of the Bacon, then a piece of meat. Then put the Bacon over the meat, then another piece of meat, then Bacon and so on. The trick is to keep the Bacon hanging down AND to keep all of the ingredients at the end of the Skewer until you have everything on...
• Put another piece of onion on the end. Then you can spread everything out just enough so that everything cooks evenly..
• Now sprinkle with your Seasoning of your choice and put on lightly greased Grill on Medium Heat...
• Cook each side for about 3-4 min. and since there are 4 sides..that equals about 16 min. Inside meat temp should be 160 degrees if you want to check. These are deelish!!
• This can be made with any of your favorite meats!

BBQ PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BACON

Steps:

• Fennel Spice:
• Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.
• Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly.
• When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding or they will gum up the blades.
• Pour the seeds into a blender and add the kosher salt.
• Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds.
• Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
• Assembling the Skewers:
• Rub both sides of the pork medallions with the spice rub.
• Take a 1/2 slice of bacon and wrap it around the outer edge of each medallion.
• Secure it by pushing a skewer right through the middle of the medallion; place 3 medallions on each skewer.
• You should now have 3 round pieces of pork showing, the bacon from one medallion touching the next one (see picture) on each skewer.
• Barbecue on High heat; flip after 4 minutes; continue cooking until browned and cooked.

BACON SKEWERS WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line a lipped baking sheet with foil. (Note: It's important that you use a lipped baking sheet.) Place a metal rack on bottom of the prepared baking sheet if desired.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, apple juice and cinnamon. Set aside. (The sugar will settle to become more liquid within a few minutes.)
• Take the bacon from the package and thread the bacon onto skewers. Place the bacon skewers evenly on the foiled-covered baking sheet. Use a spoon, fork or basting brush to spread a generous amount of the glaze onto both sides of the bacon skewers. (Make sure to get each side so that the whole bacon skewer is evenly covered with glaze.) Place the baking sheet in the oven.
• Bake for 20 min. or until the bacon is cooked to your liking. (Note that 20 min. should get the bacon skewers nice and crisped up.)
• Take the bacon skewers out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
• Serve on a platter or my favorite - in a vase as a centerpiece. Enjoy!

BACON-SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak 16 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 ̊.
• Place a chunk of pineapple on top of a shrimp, then wrap the whole thing in one of the half-slices of bacon. Stick a skewer through it to hold the pineapple, shrimp and bacon securely. Repeat to make more skewers, then lay them all on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.
• Roast the skewers for 10 minutes. Brush with a second coat of barbecue sauce, turning the skewers as you place them back on the rack. Return to the oven and bake until the bacon is sizzling and the shrimp are cooked through, about 15 more minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK MEDALLIONS WITH ELECTRIC CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Note - I like to serve this dish with an extra cup of chimichurri sauce on the table (at room temperature). If you'd like to do this, double the recipe (two cups) for the chimichurri sauce as you'll discard the original cup after the pork marinates.
• Press garlic and chop fresh parsley, and add remaining ingredients for the chimichurri sauce to a food processor. Blend for a few seconds until parsley is finely chopped.
• Slice the pork tenderloin into 1.5 inch medallions.
• Using a large zip lock bag, add sliced pork medallions and chimichurri sauce. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour.
• Remove pork medallions and discard marinade. Wrap each pork medallion with a slice of bacon.
• Begin to thread pork medallions onto skewers. Important - do not over-thread skewers (allow 1/4" in between each piece) allowing bacon to cook. Use as many skewers as necessary.
• Preheat grill to medium heat. Once heated, add skewers and cook for 4 minutes on all 4 sides for a total grilling time 16 minutes. Internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Serve with the additional cup of chimichurri sauce in a small molcajete or ramekin.

MARINATED PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• Put diced pork in a bowl with lemon, garlic, chilli and herbs
• Mix in natural yoghurt and cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste
• cover and place in the fridge for 2 - 3 hours to marinate
• Remove skewers from water and place pork and green pepper on
• Cook under medium grill for 15 - 20 mins or place on barbeque

PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Slice the pork neck into 4cm strips, then toss with your chosen glaze. Leave to marinate for 2 hrs, then thread onto three large skewers. Light the barbecue. Once the flames have died down, cook the skewers for 5 mins on each side (or, cook in a griddle pan set over a high heat). Brush with the rest of the glaze, then cook for a further 2-3 mins on each side, or until cooked through.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine salt, sugar, bay leaves, thyme, and garlic in a pot with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and once everything has dissolved remove from heat. Add ice cubes to cool down and set aside.
• For the pork: Place the pork cubes in the cooled brine and set in the fridge for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the bacon into six 1/2-inch-thick slices, about 2 1/2-ounces each. Set a large pot of cold water over high heat and add the bacon slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Drain pork from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Working with one skewer at a time, thread the bacon at one end followed by a piece of pork. Loop the bacon over the pork so it forms an "S" shape around the pork and continue to thread the bacon and pork together so each skewer has 4 pieces of pork and one thick strip of bacon on it. Sprinkle all with the seasoning mixture.
• Heat a grill to medium and wipe down grates with oil. Place pork kebabs across grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each of four sides until bacon is crisped around edges and pork is a tender medium. Once the pieces have been seared, glaze the kebabs with the Orange Honey Mustard.
• Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shallots and saute until softened. Add the orange juice, honey and mustard, whisking to thoroughly combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir well, remove from heat, and keep warm until ready to use.
