Pork, Apricot & Red Onion Kebabs

By desteech

Pork tenderloin is one of the most versatile meats. Cube a tenderloin and thread it on kebob skewers with fresh apricots and red onion, brushed with an apricot jam based sauce.

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil, for grates
• 1/4 cup apricot jam
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), cut into 20 cubes (each 1 inch)
• 8 apricots (about 1 pound), pitted and quartered
• 1 small red onion, cut into 2-inch wedges, layers separated

Preparation

Step 1

Heat grill to medium; lightly oil grates. Soak four 12-inch wooden skewers in a shallow dish of water for 15 minutes (or use metal ones).

Make basting sauce: In a small saucepan, heat jam, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon water over medium-low until jam is liquefied; season with salt and pepper.

Onto each skewer, alternately thread 5 pieces of pork with 8 of apricot and 4 of onion, beginning and ending with pork. Grill kebabs, turning occasionally and brushing with basting sauce, until pork is cooked through and apricots begin to show grill marks, 12 to 14 minutes.
