Pork Skewers

Butterflly chops were on sale this week at the butcher and they looked too good to resist. You may (or may not) recall me mentioning that my husband is not a big fan of pork chops. Nor am I for that matter....Anyway, I couldn't pass these chops up (1 lb per chop at $2 per pound...all meat!), so I had to come up with another way to serve them. Here was my solution. Little D helped make these. I love to get the kids involved and give them options. He would choose from 2 ingredients, and we'd add his choice (sometime with a little coaxing :). This is what we came up with. They tasted great! Enjoy!

p.s. Some advice from Little D - don't lick the spilt ground ginger. It's "hoooooooooooooooooot and spicy" ;)



Little D's Pork Skewers
  • 2 lbs pork, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soya sauce
  • 1 tbsp EVOO
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh cracked pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1. Place all ingredients into a large ziplock bag or a resealable container. Seal it tight and then give it a good shake. Keep shaking until all ingredients are evenly covering pork.
2. Place pork in fridge for at least 2 hours before grilling.
3. Fire up your grill to med-migh heat. Slide marinated pork cubes onto bamboo skewers that have soaked in water (or stainless ones).
4. Place on grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently. Remove from grill once pork is fully cooked. Serve immediately as is or over rice. ENJOY!
