Brochette of Pork with Lemon and Herb Marinade

By oakleyj

Herbs and lemon add tangy flavor to the easy-to-prepare pork dish. Use pork tenderloin or any other lean cut of pork. Zucchini or balnched of slices of carrot can be used instead of the vegetables here.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless lean pork
• Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp dried basil (or 2 Tbsp fresh)
• 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 Tbsp fresh)
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil
• 1 sweet green pepper, cut in squares
• 2 onions, quartered and separated into pieces
• 16 cherry tomotatoes, or fresh pineapple chunks

Preparation

Step 1

Cut pork into 1 inch cubes. In bowl, combine lemon rind and juice, garlic, basil, thyme, parsley and oil. Add pork and toss to coat well. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.

Alternately thread pork, green pepper, onions and cherry tomatoes or pineapple onto skewers. On greased grill about 4 inches over hot coals, or under broiler, grill brochettes, turning often, for 15 minutes or until pork is no longer pink inside.
