Pork Schaschlik
Pork Kebabs in tangy marinade

IIngredients:

1 1/2 -2 lbs. lean Pork loin, cut into 1 inch chunks
4 slices bacon, cut into 4 chunks
2 cups approx. colored bell peppers, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 medium Spanish or white onion, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 cucumber, cut into 1 inch slices and halved.
1 dozen wood skewers, soaked in water

Sauce:
1/2 cup tomato catsup or tomato sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice ( aprox. 1 lemon)
1 / 4 cup brandy
2 tblsp Dijon mustard
2 tblsp Canola oil

1 tblsp paprika Sweet Hungarian or Spicy (your option)
1 teaspoons curry powder
1 teasp fresh grated ginger
1 teasp cinnamon
1 / 2 teasp nutmeg


Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients for the sauce in a good size bowl, that can hold 1-1 /2 to 2 lbs of meat.

2. Reserve 1 / 4 cup of the sauce if you like to glaze at the end of cooking.

3. Add the Pork and let sit in the marinade for 4 hours or overnight.

4.Thread the meat, then bacon piece, then veg on the skewer. in the right corner I have back bacon similar to Canadian bacon, because one of us is watching calories a bit closer.

5.Place the Skewers on a plate to carry it out to the BBQ. You can hold them in the Fridge till you are ready also.

6. Brush some oil on the BBQ, then grill on medium high heat. Turn the Kebabs Frequently to brown evenly.

7. I like to serve potato wedges with these. I cook the potato first and then cut into wedges. I put these on about half way through the cooking.

8. The reserved Schaschlik sauce can be used to glaze the kebab or used as dipping sauce for the potato wedges.
