Mustard-Rosemary Pork & Apple Kabobs


My husband, Flynt and I love grilling, and we just tried this recipe the other day. It was easy, delicious and each serving is only 160 calories with 18 g. of protein!


Marinade

2 T. brown sugar
2 T. mustard (we used Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard)
2 T. water
1 tsp. dried rosemary leaves, crushed


Kabobs

6 oz. pork tenderloin, cut into 12 (1 inch) pieces
1 small red apple, cut into 12 pieces
1/2 medium onion, cut into 4 wedges, layers separated


1. In small bowl, combine all marinade ingredients; mix well. Add pork; toss generously to coat. Cover; let stand at room temp. for at least 10 min. to marinate. (We marinated ours for longer, about 1 1/2 hours.)


2. Heat grill. Drain pork, reserving marinade. Alternately thread apple, pork and onion onto skewers.


3. Grill on medium heat. Brush kabobs with reserved marinade; discard any remaining marinade. Cook 8-11 min. or until pork is no longer pink and onion is crisp-tender, turning once.


Serve and enjoy!

(We served them with "Grilled Asparagus with Extra-virgin Olive Oil, Feta cheese and black pepper" from Bobby Flay's Grill It! book)
