    Grilling kabobs.  It's what I wait all winter for.  Combining my love for grilled pork with my love for grilled kababs makes these Grilled Tahini Pork Skewers one of my favorites!  An easy, healthy grilled pork recipe!

    Grilling Kabobs

    I have a love hate relationship with grilling with skewers or kabobs.  I hate how the food twists when you try and turn them.  I love how you can combine your meat and veggies all in one skewer.  I hate that even though you soak the bamboo skewers, they still burn.  I love how much fun it is to eat food off of a stick.  Food on a stick is the quintessential summer food, so even with the trials and tribulations of grilling it, it still happens quite a bit here in the summer.  Like this Grilled Tahini Pork Skewers - full of fun of flavor!

    Reorganizing my pantry, I found a jar of Tahini that had just a few months left on it's expiration date.  I usually use it for hummus, but wanted to try something different.   I found this Char-Grilled Tahini Pork Skewers at Donna Hay. It was perfect.  The pork gets lots of flavor from the Tahini marinade and then the rest of the marinade is used as a dipping sauce.  Her recipe uses only pork, since I wanted to turn it into a main dish, I added zucchini and onions to the skewers and served it over rice.

      I hate it too when the food turns with sewers, but when it's grilled like that, it has a certain flavor so I love it. 🙂 Great ingredients!

      My kids love skewars...I love that you use tahini in this recipe. I feel like I never use it, and it is so flavorful.

      Wow - that tahini sauce sounds great! There is something primal about eating food on a stick - even if it takes the extra effort. I don't eat pork, so I'll give this a try on chicken!
