For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Red meat is becoming more and more taboo. There are cholesterol issues and other questions of hormones and steroids that cows are given. Many people are finding that pork is a great alternative to beef, and you can make a wide variety of recipes with this versatile meat. One of the more popular ways to prepare pork now is on the grill. Grills offer a lot of things to the everyday cook like convenience, speed and great flavor. There are literally thousands of different pork recipes you can cook out on the grill, but most people only know of a few. Everyone knows about the pork BBQ prepared on the slow smokers. It's some great food, no doubt, but I'm a little tired of it myself. I found a great recipe for pork shish kabobs and I can't stop making them.

I like to use pork over beef for a few reasons. For starters, it's cheaper in the stores. It's easier to handle, less fat, takes on flavors better and it cooks faster. All of these things make my pork shish kabobs easy to shop for and prepare. There's nothing complicated about them at all. If you've never cooked on a grill before, you could master this recipe.

Pork Shish Kabobs:

The first thing we'll need to do is make a store run. A few of these ingredients you'll have at home, so just pick up what you don't have. You'll need to grab some pork. I suggest picking up a whole loin or tenderloin. It's cheaper to buy it that way and it's very easy to cut up at home. You'll also need some wooden skewers, ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, a pineapple, a zucchini, 1/2 pound of medium sized mushrooms, 1/2 pound of small pearl onions, and 1 green pepper.

We want to cut the pork into 1-inch cubes and prepare the marinade for them. Combine 1/2 cup of ketchup with 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon each of freshly chopped garlic and ginger; salt and pepper to taste. Mix these ingredients well and place the cubed pork in and cover tightly, refrigerate overnight.

When you're ready to cook, begin chopping the rest of the ingredients. The pineapple, zucchini and bell pepper will need to be cut into 1-inch cubes. The mushrooms should be cleaned and stemmed and the onions should be peeled. Soak your skewers in some water for around 30 minutes so they won't burn on the grill. Starting with your marinated pork, alternate ingredients on your skewer; pork, veggie, pork, veggie, etc.

When your skewers are complete, go out and start your grill. Turn the heat to medium and let it pre-heat for about 10 minutes. Make sure to oil your racks once hot and place the skewers on the racks. You will need to turn these about every 3 minutes. Make sure to use the tongs when turning. Even though that wooden handle may look tempting to grab, it's really hot and will burn you quickly and easily. By the time your skewers have been turned around two complete times, they should be done.

You can alternate anything you want here. If you don't want the meat, then pre-slice and marinade all your vegetables and pineapple. If you don't want the veggies, then just cook the meat. It's completely up to you. This is a fast and delicious recipe that is incredibly simple.
