Grilled Pork Tenderloin Skewers
(Makes 8 skewers - Serves about 4)
A Note on Skewers:
You can use metal or wooden skewers. The ends of wooden skewers may burn if
your grill is very hot. To help retard burning, soak the skewers in water for 15
minutes before adding the food. Using a double set of skewers keeps the food
from turning on the skewer and makes for easier handling. To double skewer,
hold 2 skewers parallel to each other about 1/2-inch apart between your thumb
and forefinger. Begin piercing each ingredient onto the skewers and push up a
few inches. As more pieces are added, it becomes easier to handle.
