If you have children, you should definitely think about giving this recipe a try, since they will eat pretty much anything handed to them on a stick. Pork with a sweet and tangy balsamic make this a delicious and crowd pleasing treat for everyone.
Ingredients
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons olive oil,
1 1/2 pound boneless, center cut, pork loin chops, about 1-2 inches thick
1 green apple, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
bamboo or metal skewers
1 pinch salt and pepper
Directions
1. Measure vinegar, brown sugar, orange
juice, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper into a large zip-top bag.
Seal and shake to combine. Cut pork chops into 1 1/2 inch cubes and add
to the bag, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to one day.
2. Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Remove pork from the
marinade, and place the marinade, minus the garlic, in a small saucepan.
Heat the marinade to boiling and boil until slightly thickened and
reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes. Reserve.
3. Skewer the pork, along with the apples and onions and sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Heat a grill pan (or your broiler) to medium high. Drizzle
pan with a little oil to keep the skewers from sticking. Place the
skewers on the pan and grill for 4 minutes. Turn them a quarter of the
way around and grill another 4 minutes. Finish grilling the remaining
two sides for 4 minutes each, grilling the skewers for a total of 16
minutes. If using your broiler, broil for about 10 minutes total,
flipping once. Do not overcook the pork, or it will become tough.
4. Serve over brown rice and drizzle with reduced marinade.
