#SummerItUpWithHatfield #SimplyHatfield #GrillingWithHatfield #CollectiveBias
It is officially grilling season. It is hands down one of my favorite times of the year because my kitchen stays cleaner than usual when we try to do most of our cooking outdoors. I love using fresh seasonal ingredients and getting a little help from marinated meats like Hatfield® Marinated Pork Tenderloin for my Pork Kebabs and Orzo Pasta Salad.
What I love about the Hatfield® Marinated Pork Tenderloin is that it has a dry rub seasoning. I much prefer a dry rub over most marinades. It’s so easy, full of flavors and we have an easy dinner in no time. I can totally see this being something we serve over Memorial Day or any summer BBQ. We love to entertain, and this would be quite the crowd pleaser.
I recently saw on a food show that when you make kebabs, you should throw out the old idea of alternating everything on one skewer and do one item per skewer for a more even cooking time. Made perfect sense to me, and of course I had to try it. The verdict on the changing up the skewers was a success! The pork was cooked perfectly, and the veggies still had bit of a bite to them. I’ll definitely have to continue this cooking method when we make our next round of kebabs. Pair the kebabs with my easy Orzo pasta salad, and you have a complete meal. I borrowed some of the same flavors with the peppers and onion from the kebabs and added it to the pasta. It’s the perfect grilling pair!
I found my Hatfield® Marinated Pork Tenderloin and other Hatfield® products in the meat department at my local Schnucks Market.
