A Healthy Pork Recipe For The Grill

Warm weather, grilling, sitting on the deck with a nice cold beverage in hand. Now usually that’s a cold beer for me but Christie has gotten me into wine these days too. I never thought it would happen but it finally did.

If you can’t beat ’em join ’em, isn’t that what they say? I actually like both red and white now, but for the hot weather white is definitely winning these days.

These Thai Coconut pork Kabobs sort of scream summer time grilling to me. A light dinner that doesn’t weigh you down that you can keep low carb or serve over rice or noodles for the rest of the family.

Why Are Kabob Recipes So Flavorful?

Then I got to thinking about what I like to grill the most…and I immediately went to kabobs. I don’t know what it is about grilling kabobs but they just seem to have a lot more flavor than just grilling one big piece of meat.

So besides the fact that kabobs are just fun to eat, and look great on a platter, I figured out that it’s because there’s more surface area for the marinade to cover all the surfaces of the meat. So that equals more flavor than if you’re cooking a whole roast that just has flavor on the outside.

Like these Antipasto Salad Kabobs couldn’t make eating salad more fun. We’ve even made eating sandwiches for a party fun with these Club Sandwich Kabobs!

So kabobs = fun.

How To Make Thai Coconut Pork Kabobs

OK so first you need to season the pork. This Badia seasoning can go on almost anything – it has onion, garlic and cumin all blended together to make an all around great seasoning for meats, and it turned out to be perfect on these Thai Coconut Pork Kabobs.

Toss the pork together with the seasoning and then get it into the marinade. The marinade has coconut milk, brown sugar, sriracha, garlic and soy sauce. Sweet and spicy all at once – the perfect flavors to make these Thai Coconut Pork Kabobs the hit of the dinner table.

Once they’re done in the marinade you can get them on the grill, save some of the marinade for basting to keep these pork kabobs extra juicy and flavorful.

Once the kabobs are grilled all that’s left to do is crack open that bottle of white. The crisp taste of this Sauvignon Blanc with these pork kabobs will blow you away. I can’t think of a better way to have dinner on the deck.

You can use the lettuce leaves to serve and eat theseThai Coconut Pork Kabobs! Use the lettuce leaf pull the pork off the skewer and start eating. Just make sure you have at least a bottle or two of wine to enjoy them with!
