Pork and Potato Skewers with Honey Mustard Glaze

1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze

1. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

2. Pre-Cook the Potatoes

1. Boil Potatoes: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the baby potatoes for about 8-10 minutes, or until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.

3. Assemble the Skewers

1. Prepare Pork and Vegetables: Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes. Cut the red onion and bell peppers into chunks.
2. Thread Skewers: Thread the pork cubes, pre-cooked baby potatoes, red onion, and bell pepper chunks onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients for a colorful presentation.
3. Season Skewers: Drizzle the skewers with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

4. Grill the Skewers

1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are nicely charred.
3. Glaze Skewers: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers generously with the honey mustard glaze, allowing it to caramelize slightly on the grill.

5. Serve

1. Remove and Rest: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
2. Serve: Serve the skewers hot with any remaining honey mustard glaze on the side for dipping.

Tips for Success

• Even Cooking: Ensure the pork cubes and vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the skewers; leave some space between each piece for even grilling.
• Monitor Heat: Keep an eye on the grill temperature to avoid burning the glaze.

Variations

Customize your Pork and Potato Skewers with these variations:

• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the glaze for some heat.
• Herb Infusion: Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the skewers for extra flavor.
• Vegetable Options: Swap out the bell peppers for zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms.
