Nectarine and Pork Kebabs #KitchenMatrixCookingProject #CookoutWeek

It doesn't get much easier or more delicious than nestling tender, juicy pork between nectarine and onion slices on a skewer and putting them on the grill for 15 minutes.

Join me, won't you, for Day 2 of Cookout Week...…..




We are having a ton of fun this week, sharing our favorite cookout mains, sides, drinks and desserts, and offering an awesome giveaway sponsored by some fantastic companies.  You can learn all about Cookout Week, the sponsors and enter the raffle at my Welcome Post.

Head on over and take care of that but then hurry back because there are a bunch of great recipes being shared today and the link to them all will be at the bottom of this post.

I decided to share some tender, flavorful kebabs with you today.  I made these kebabs when we had our friend Chris over for dinner one night.  Chris really enjoyed these kebabs and he is not, in his words, "normally a pork person".

These are hard to resist though, using pork tenderloin, ensures that they will be soft as butter.  Cooking them to just a perfect temperature of 145* means they will be juicy and flavorful.  The addition of onions and nectarines adds a wonderful flavor.  I always try to serve fruit with my pork dishes.  It is such a perfect pairing.

I removed these from the skewers before serving.  I often do this because some, like me, cannot eat an entire skewer but feel like if it is on their plate they must.  And others, like Frank, want more after one skewer but cannot handle two full servings.  Removing the ingredients from the skewers allows people to take as much of each item as they wish.

I also served up the Cheesey Corn Muffins, that I shared yesterday, with these kebabs and some macaroni salad that I had purchased from the deli.  It was a great meal and a great visit.  It resulted in Chris and I making plans to go skydiving.  That is taking place tomorrow.  I am very excited.

Another reason I decided to make these kebabs is because my friends, Cam of Culinary Adventures with Camilla, Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories and I are working our way through Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix Cookbook.  Karen chose kebabs as this weeks topic.  

Let's take a look at their kebabs before I share my recipe and the links to all the other Cookout Week Creations.

Now on to my recipe that, in typical Bittman fashion, is more of a technique than a recipe.
