Description

For a Southeast Asian treat, try these grilled pork skewers, marinated in a spicy ginger-peanut sauce.

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger root
1 cup roasted, salted Spanish peanuts
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons crushed coriander seed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
skewers

Directions

1 In a food processor, process garlic, green onions, ginger, peanuts, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Puree until almost smooth. Pour in broth and butter, and mix again.
2 Place pork cubes in a large resealable plastic bag, and pour mixture over meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours, or overnight.
3 Preheat grill for medium heat. Remove pork cubes from bag, and thread onto skewers. In a small saucepan, boil the marinade for 5 minutes. Reserve a small amount of the marinade for basting, and set the remainder aside to serve as a dipping sauce.
4 Lightly oil preheated grill. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until well browned, turning and brushing frequently with cooked marinade. Serve with dipping sauce.
