Summer always brings nice barbeques, together with the three of us or with friends and family.
For a bbq I always make skewers. This can be with chicken, shrimps, beef or with pork tenderloin. Every time we try new things, like these pork tenderloin skewers.
I don’t eat a lot of pork meat because I’m not so crazy of the taste. Except pork tenderloin, that taste is fine.
You always have to be careful with skewers so they don’t become dry or leathery. Pork tenderloin is mostly tender meat, but you have to cut the meat in small pieces otherwise it’s again a big meat ball;-).
That’s why I cut the pork tenderloin for skewers, into slices. I put the slices in a bowl and marinate them with (seasoned) oil, garlic pepper, garlic powder, meat herbs powder and cajun herbs. For the seasoned oil, I use this one from Conimex.
Then leave it all for a while (10 minutes or so).
After that I skewer the slices pork in a spiralform, like making a S on the skewer.
By skewering the meat this way there is some space between the meat. For this it bakes quicker on the bbq and the meat tastes delicious.
When the marinating and skewering is ready, you can put the skewer on the bbq!
I never eat sauce with these skewers, because I like the taste of the meat and the herbs. And this way it’s better for my health and my figure;-). These pork skewers are delicious with a summer salad of cucumber, tomato and feta, and with baked potatoe.
