Description

Have you ever tried black rice? Steam it and toss with sliced green onion as a bed for these flavorful kabobs—their color will really pop atop the black rice. Or, consider serving the kabobs over fluffy, quick-cooking couscous. If using orange marmalade, add a kick of heat by stirring in a pinch of cayenne. Weather not ideal? Broil the kabobs on a preheated broiler pan 3 to 5 inches from the heat source, using the doneness test and cook time above.

Directions

In a self-sealing plastic bag combine cubed pork, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and Dijon-style mustard (or Chinese Five Spice); seal bag and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
Prepare medium-hot fire with charcoal or preheat gas to medium high.
Remove pork from marinade and discard marinade. Thread pork, sweet peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini alternately onto 8 skewers. Grill kabobs directly over fire, turning to brown evenly, for 5 minutes. Brush kabobs with the melted jelly. Continue to grill for 3 to 10 minutes more or until tender. Let rest 3 minutes before serving.
4 servings (2 kabobs each)
