PORK SATAY WITH THAI SPICES AND PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the skewers: Put pork in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and coconut milk, and pour over meat. Toss with your hands to coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Meanwhile, soak 12 bamboo skewers in water.
• Prepare the cucumbers: Put cucumbers in a mixing bowl and season with salt. Add lime juice, sugar, shallots and chiles and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving dish.
• Prepare the peanut sauce: Pulse the peanuts briefly in a food processor just until finely ground. Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, cayenne and coconut milk, and process until well puréed. Transfer to a bowl, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin a bit with lime juice or water as desired.
• Thread 2 slices of pork onto each bamboo skewer, keeping the meat as flat as possible. Grill over hot coals, under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan for 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a platter and garnish with cilantro and basil leaves. Serve with cucumber relish and peanut sauce.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Use a paper towel to pat any excess marinade from the pork; allow to sit at room temperature while the grill is heating. Lightly oil grill grate. Cook pork 3 minutes on each side (on all four sides) for a total of 12 to 15 minutes. The pork will be done when it is no longer pink inside and has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove from the grill and cover meat loosely with a foil tent. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Trim meat, and cut into thin, angled slices about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Place in a bowl. In an ungreased saute pan, heat the coriander seeds and cumin for several minutes over medium heat to bring out flavor. Add to the bowl.
• Prepare the marinade. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade or in a blender with the motor running, add the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, lemon grass, soy sauce and brown sugar. Blend to a fine paste, and add to the meat. Toss lightly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate for 30 minutes.
• Prepare the peanut sauce. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade or in a blender with the machine running, puree the shallots, garlic, lemon grass, peanut butter, coconut milk, tamarind juice, chili paste, brown sugar and soy sauce.
• Thread the meat slices through the bamboo skewers, and prepare a fire for grilling or the broiler. Place on a baking sheet about 3 inches from the source of heat. Grill 6 to 7 minutes, turning once, until the pork is cooked. Remove and serve the sauce for dipping.

GRILLED ASIAN PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In large bowl, whisk the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic and coriander to make a smooth sauce.
• Trim the pork of excess fat and silverskin.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by splitting each one lengthwise almost but not quite all the way through, so the halves remain attached.
• Open each tenderloin like a book, cover with plastic wrap, and pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
• Place the pork loins in a bowl with marinade and turn to coat. Let marinate 10-20 minutes, (or up to several hours in the refrigerator.)
• While pork marinates, heat gas grill on high, clean and oil grates.
• Remove tenderloins from marinade, letting excess marinade drip back into the bowl, (don't discard the marinade.).
• Grill, uncovered, turning once, until just cooked through, 5-7 minutes. (Cut into one to check.) Transfer to a carving board and let stand 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour marinade into small saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of water, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. If sauce seems too thick, thin it with 1-2 tablespoons water.
• Slice pork and serve with sauce on the side.
