    Dijon marinated pork kabobs, served with charred vegetables, pita bread and parmesan orzo pasta, are a quick and easy flavorful meal you can prepare in less than 30 minutes. The simple marinade, made with Mazola® Corn Oil, is great for grilling outside or on an indoor electric grill. A clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, visit Mazola.com.

    It’s finally grilling season, and I’ve got a delicious recipe for charred vegetable and pork kabobs marinated in Dijon mustard, spices and Mazola® Corn Oil. Mazola Corn Oil is a heart-healthy* cooking oil and creates marinades that make great-tasting food because it has a neutral taste that lets the natural flavor of your food stand out.

    The simple marinade is full of flavor. And because the recipe uses cubed pork tenderloin, the veggie and pork kabobs cook quickly on the grill. Serve the kabobs over couscous or parmesan orzo pasta with a side of grilled pita bread. Add mandarin orange fluff salad for a light dessert.

    You can scroll to the end of this post for the full recipe and ingredient list. But you may want to keep reading for more tips on how to make the tender, flavorful, better-for-you pork kabobs using Mazola® Corn Oil in the marinade.

    To Make Dijon Pork kabobs, You Will Need:

    ingredients to make dijon marinade for pork tenderloin

    • Pork tenderloin – This lean, tender cut of pork makes great kabobs that cook quickly on the grill.
    • Mazola® Corn Oil – This all-purpose, cholesterol-free cooking oil is smart heart-heathy choice for your family. It has a high smoke point, which makes it a great choice for grilling and stir frying. Mazola Corn Oil has more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than other cooking oils* – four times more than olive oil, three times more than vegetable (soybean) oil, and 1.3 times more than canola oil.
    • Balsamic vinegar – Choose a high-quality balsamic vinegar to add fruity-tart flavor to the pork marinade.
    • Dijon mustard – This prepared mustard has a tangy, sharp flavor that is delicious on pork.
    • Fresh rosemary – This fragrant, fresh herb will give the grilled pork kabobs a lot of flavor.
    • Garlic – Use crushed garlic cloves for this marinade.
    • Squash and zuchinni – Grilling squash and zuchinni really brings out the flavor.
    • Grape tomatoes – I like using multicolored grape tomatoes for the these kabobs. They add sweetness and acidity to the dish, as well as pretty color.
    • Salt and pepper – Coarse salt and freshly ground salt are my choices for seasoning food before cooking.

    How to Make Grilled Pork Kabobs

    1. Prepare the pork tenderloin by cutting away the tough silver skin. Then cut the tenderloin into 1-inch to 2-inch pieces. This will ensure the pork kabobs cook quickly on the grill. balsamic vinegar marinade in a bowl with corn oil
    2. Prepare the marinade by combining balsamic vinegar, Mazola® Corn Oil, Dijon mustard, fresh rosemary, crushed garlic, salt and pepper.
    3. Whisk the mixture to emulsify, then pour over cubed pork tenderloin. whisk in a bowl of dijon mustard balsamic marinade for pork
    4. Marinate in the refrigerator in a covered dish or in a zip-top plastic bag for as least 30 minutes, several hours or overnight. pork tenderloin marinating in a pyrex dish beside a bottle of Mazola corn oil
    5. In the meantime, chop squash and zuchinni. Add to a bowl with grape tomatoes. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and toss with Mazola® Corn Oil.squash and colorful grape tomatoes marinating in oil and spices in a stainless steel bowl
    6. Once the pork has marinated, remove from the refrigerator and slide onto skewers, alternating with squash and tomatoes. If you use wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before using so they don’t burn on the grill.
    7. Preheat the grill to medium. Grill pork kabobs for 10 to 15 minutes, turning several times, until the pork is cooked through or reaches an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees, per USDA recommendations. Let the meat rest at least 3 minutes before serving or slicing into it.
    8. Alternately, you can grill the pork kabobs on an indoor electric grill. Use the medium grill setting and allow to preheat before adding the kabobs. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once or twice while cooking.

    Serve the vegetable and pork kabobs over orzo with grilled pita bread.

    Variations

    You can substitute other vegetables, such as sliced red onion and peppers, for the kabobs.

    These also are good served over couscous, rice, quinoa or other grains.

    You can also make gyros using the grilled pork kabobs and warm pita bread. Add shredded lettuce, hummus and feta cheese along with grilled vegetables.

    Facts/Expert Tips

    If you want to make some easy freezer meals, cube the pork tenderloin and freeze in the marinade. When you’re ready to cook, thaw the meat completely and assemble the kabobs, grilling as instructed.

    Make extra marinade, or reserve some before adding the pork, to use as a sauce over the grilled kabobs.

    Pork and vegetable kabobs can be grilled ahead of time and reheated in the oven at 350 degrees until warm. Just be sure not to overcook the pork as the meat could dry out.

Pork cooked to this temperature may be slightly pink in the center.
