INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 lb. trimmed pork loin, cut into 1 1/4″ cubes
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
5 tbsp. finely chopped mint
5 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
2 tbsp. finely chopped oregano
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 bay leaf, finely crushed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tsp. crushed red chile flakes
2 10″-long Italian hoagie rolls, split, toasted, and halved
Lemon wedges, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, toss together pork, 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, 2 tbsp. mint, 2 tbsp. parsley, the oregano, lemon juice, bay leaf, and salt and pepper; cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours and up to overnight. Soak six 8″ wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes; drain and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk remaining oil, mint, and parsley together with chile flakes, and season with salt and pepper; set sauce aside.
2. Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium-high. (Alternatively, arrange an oven rack 4″ below the broiler element and set oven to broil.) Thread four or five pork cubes onto each skewer. Transfer to grill (or foil-lined baking sheet), and cook, turning once, until charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
3. Place skewers on rolls; drizzle with sauce and serve with lemon wedges.
Thank you for stopping by!
Edit: After I posted this in the morning, Hurricane Irene upset our area with flooding and downed trees. Our neighborhood was under mandatory evacuation in the afternoon, but we chose to carefully watch the flooding from the creek and remained home. Thankfully, after a few hours, the evacuation was rescinded, and we have no flooding in our basement. I am more than anything wishing for quick relief for those hit harder.
I've never heard of Spiedies before but they sound great. You set the prettiest tables at camp! I'm glad you didn't get any flooding where you were, Debbie.
ReplyDeleteI saw the recipe in the mag. Yours look delicious and your table looks very cabiny! :) You did that Sunday? Irene had already come to visit by then, so no outdoor activities here!
ReplyDeleteHope this weekend is better for all of us, esp those w/o power and medical problems. Just like snowstorms, it makes life very difficult for some. I see you in your son. :)
very cute table, glad your cabin was safe~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog!

If you want, come and visit me, you're welcome
I have never cooked or grilled pork kebabs. I am usually worried about my pork drying out on the grill. These look juicy and moist.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie...
ReplyDeleteYour spiedies look great! I think my hubby would love them! We were supposed to go to Inlet last Sunday. Not a good day for it! My sister lives in the evacuation area as well, but didn't have to leave. The creek was unbelievable! Glad your house was fine with no flooding. We didn't have any problems on our end of town. We did make it to Inlet on Monday, though.
Sounds like you have been having a good summer up north!
