Grilled Pork and Sweet Potato Kabobs

Main· Recipe Archive

Rosemary infused marmalade gives great flavor to pretty sweet potatoes, zucchini and pork. These are delicious! I used onion & garlic marinated pork and added sweet onion pieces and green, red & yellow bell pepper pieces to the kabobs. The marinade tastes wonderful. These kabobs were a real kid-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup orange marmalade
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 lb dark-orange sweet potatoes peeled, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 lb pork tenderloin cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small zucchini cut into 8 slices
  • Onion and garlic to taste
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper

Instructions

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, heat marmalade, rosemary and salt to boiling, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • In 1-quart microwavable bowl, place sweet potato pieces and water. Cover loosely with microwavable paper towel. Microwave on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once, just until potatoes are tender (do not overcook). Drain sweet potatoes; rinse with cold water.
  • On each of four 10- to 12-inch metal skewers, carefully thread pork, sweet potatoes and zucchini (with cut side facing out) and each of the peppers alternately, leaving 1/4-inch space between each piece.
  • Cover and grill kabobs over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning once and brushing with marmalade glaze during last 3 minutes, until pork is no pink in center.

Notes

For the best flavor in this recipe, purchase dark orange sweet poatoes, often called yams at the grocery store.

      Thanks Rachel for commenting. I had grilled sweet potatoes at my sister’s house and they really stayed moist. She brushed a bit of brown sugar on them and they were to die for!
