Skewered Pork Fruit And Vegetable Food

30 MINUTE PORK AND VEGETABLE KEBABS

Steps:

• If using the oven, preheat to 400F. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water while preparing the ingredients.
• Dice the pork loin filet into 1-2 inch cubes. Try to keep the cubes small and consistent in size, so they cook quickly.
• Combine all the diced vegetables (bell peppers through mushrooms) in a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Assemble the kebabs by alternating between the diced pork, various vegetables, and pineapple pieces.
• Roast or grill the kebabs for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 170F. Remove from heat, allow to cool 5 minutes before serving, and garnish with diced scallions.

GRILLED VEGGIE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak skewers in water for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Alternately thread zucchini slices, yellow squash slices, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, pineapple, and bell pepper onto the skewers.
• Whisk olive oil, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; brush mixture over vegetables.
• Cook skewers on preheated grill until vegetables are tender, turning and basting vegetables with olive oil mixture occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.

SUMMER VEGETABLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. With a colander set in the sink, lightly sprinkle the eggplant or zucchini with a little salt. Toss well and set aside for 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Pat vegetables dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and add to the bowl. Gently toss to coat. Let marinate while the grill heats up.
• Thread vegetables onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers (see Tip), keeping the eggplant and zucchini on separate skewers, if using both vegetables. Reserve any leftover marinade at the bottom of bowl.
• When the grill is hot, add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 7 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Brush with remaining marinade and squeeze a lemon wedge all over. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.
