Honey Mustard Pork Skewers

Prep: 20 min Cook: 15 min

Serves: 8

Cost per serving: $1.70

Ingredients:

¼ c Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp. honey

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 Pork tenderloin (about 1 ½ lb.) halved lengthwise, cut into 1-inch squares

2 bell peppers, cored, seeded, cut into 1 inch squares

Salt and pepper

 

Directions:

Stir mustard, honey, and oil in a large bowl until smooth.  Add pork cubes and toss to coat.  Set aside at room temperature.  Soak 8 bamboo skewers in cold water for 20 minutes.

Preheat broilers to high and line a broiling pan with foil. (Alternatively, light a charcoal fire and let it burn to gray ash.)  Divide pork and peppers into 8 portions and skewer cubes, alternating with squares of pepper (begin and end with pepper; use about 6 pepper pieces and 5 pork chunks per skewer).  Thread each skewer as close as possible to center of pieces, to facilitate turning.  Season with salt and pepper.

Broil or grill 6 to 8 inches from heat source, turning often, until slightly browned and pork is cooked through, 12 to 15minutes.
