The term "alla griglia" is used to describe foods that are grilled. Italians are so fond of grilling that many homes have built-in brick fireplaces where the cook can prepare platters of mixed grilled meats, grilled roll-ups of meat or fish, and grilled mixed vegetables.
Grilled Pork Tenderloin Skewers
(Makes 8 skewers - Serves about 4)In a number of Italian skewered recipes, bread cubes are used to divide the meat or vegetables. Use a long Italian or French bread cut up, including the crust, into 1-inch cubes.
Ingredients:
16 (10-inch) wooden skewers
1-1/2 to 2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 ounces sliced prosciutto, each slice rolled up and cut into 1-inch wide slices
About 24 fresh sage leaves
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Prepare a medium-hot charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium-high.
Double skewer all your ingredients as follows:
Add a piece of pork, followed by a piece of bread, prosciutto, and a sage leaf.
Repeat until all the ingredients are skewered.
Brush all sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place skewers on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until pork and bread are
golden brown, about 15 minutes.

(Serves 4)
Ingredients:

1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 (2-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
Salt and pepper

Lightly oil the grill rack.
Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Grill the tenderloin, turning and brushing with the marinade for about 15 minutes.

The cooking times in the recipes should be used with caution because fires differ so much in heat, depending on many factors, including the type of grill being used. It is best to use the times as guides, resting your final judgement about the doneness on the look, touch, and smell of the food.
