Supersweet Corn and Pork Skewers

Supersweet Corn and Pork Skewers

Ingredients

  • 3 ears fresh Supersweet Corn, husked
  • 12 ounces pork tenderloin or boneless, cooked chicken breasts
  • 2 small zucchini
  • 2 small sweet red bell peppers
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Preheat grill or broiler.  With a large, sharp knife, cut corn in 2-inch pieces and the pork, zucchini and bell peppers in 1-inch pieces.  In a large bowl, combine oil, cumin, salt and pepper.  Add pork and vegetables; toss to coat.  Let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature.  On eight (10- to 12-inch) metal skewers, loosely thread pork and vegetables.  Grill or broil, turning occasionally, until meat is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.  If desired, serve with salad greens.  Pork and vegetables can also be cooked “unskewered” on a grill rack or broiler pan, for 8 to 10 minutes, turning often.
