Pork And Bacon Skewers Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine salt, sugar, bay leaves, thyme, and garlic in a pot with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and once everything has dissolved remove from heat. Add ice cubes to cool down and set aside.
• For the pork: Place the pork cubes in the cooled brine and set in the fridge for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the bacon into six 1/2-inch-thick slices, about 2 1/2-ounces each. Set a large pot of cold water over high heat and add the bacon slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Drain pork from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Working with one skewer at a time, thread the bacon at one end followed by a piece of pork. Loop the bacon over the pork so it forms an "S" shape around the pork and continue to thread the bacon and pork together so each skewer has 4 pieces of pork and one thick strip of bacon on it. Sprinkle all with the seasoning mixture.
• Heat a grill to medium and wipe down grates with oil. Place pork kebabs across grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each of four sides until bacon is crisped around edges and pork is a tender medium. Once the pieces have been seared, glaze the kebabs with the Orange Honey Mustard.
• Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shallots and saute until softened. Add the orange juice, honey and mustard, whisking to thoroughly combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir well, remove from heat, and keep warm until ready to use.

BACON WRAPPED PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Rinse the pork, pat dry and wrap with bacon. Arrange 3 bacon-wrapped pork slices on 4 skewers and brush with a little oil.
• Rinse the herbs, shake dry and chop the leaves finely. Season the skewers with salt and pepper and sprinkle with herbs. Broil for about 5 minutes.

PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Slice the pork neck into 4cm strips, then toss with your chosen glaze. Leave to marinate for 2 hrs, then thread onto three large skewers. Light the barbecue. Once the flames have died down, cook the skewers for 5 mins on each side (or, cook in a griddle pan set over a high heat). Brush with the rest of the glaze, then cook for a further 2-3 mins on each side, or until cooked through.

BARBECUED PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Slice the pork shoulder in half lengthwise. Cut each piece across into thin, 1/8-inch slices.
• Transfer pork to a mixing bowl and add garlic, onion, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and cayenne. Mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and transfer into a refrigerator for 4 hours, or up to overnight.
• Preheat an charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Weave pork slices on metal skewers, folding the longer pieces in half as you go. Slices should be pressed snugly together as you build the skewer.
• Grill skewers over the hot charcoal until browned and no longer pink, turning frequently, about 30 minutes. Brush on barbecue sauce and turn skewers several times so the sauce caramelizes, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Serve immediately.

BBQ PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BACON

Steps:

• Fennel Spice:
• Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.
• Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly.
• When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding or they will gum up the blades.
• Pour the seeds into a blender and add the kosher salt.
• Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds.
• Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
• Assembling the Skewers:
• Rub both sides of the pork medallions with the spice rub.
• Take a 1/2 slice of bacon and wrap it around the outer edge of each medallion.
• Secure it by pushing a skewer right through the middle of the medallion; place 3 medallions on each skewer.
• You should now have 3 round pieces of pork showing, the bacon from one medallion touching the next one (see picture) on each skewer.
• Barbecue on High heat; flip after 4 minutes; continue cooking until browned and cooked.
