Grilled Pork Loin

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mother's reading this. I hope none of you had to make dinner tonight!! LOL

We went to the Venezuelan restaurant in Norwalk tonight and the kids loved it. They tried everything and loved the arapeas and pork and steak.

I realized I didn't put the grilled pork loin recipe in the other day so here it it.


Grilled Pork

serves 4

2 lbs. boneless pork loin,
cut into 11⁄4-inch cubes
2 bay leaves, finely crumbled
with your fingers
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1⁄2 tsp. ground black pepper

Piri Piri Chile Pepper Sauce for serving

Fresh, crusty bread for serving

In a large bowl, combine pork, bay
leaves, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and
toss to combine. Marinate for at least an
hour, or preferably overnight.
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for very
hot cooking, or preheat the broiler. Thread
pork onto 8 metal skewers and cook, turning
often, until pork is browned and cooked
through but still slightly pink and moist at
the center, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve the skewers,
passing the Chile Pepper Sauce and chunks
of bread on the side.

This is a delicious and simple way to make pork and the Piri Piri sauce is available at Whole Foods, it tastes similar to a Tabasco sauce but with much more flavor.

Enjoy!!
