Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin Kebabs |
**Bacon-Wrapped Tenderloin Kebobs**
3 pork tenderloins (each 12 oz/375 g)
9 slices bacon, halved lengthwise
9 sprigs rosemary, halved crosswise
1 tablespoon (15 mL) Dijon mustard
1-1/2 teaspoon (7 mL) each balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) each salt and pepper
Cut each tenderloin into 6 rounds; wrap 1 piece of bacon around side of each. Poke metal skewer through bacon and pork through to other side; remove skewer. Thread rosemary sprig through hole to extend on other side. Thread 3 tenderloins at right angle to rosemary onto each of 6 metal skewers. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)In small bowl, combine mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper; brush over flat sides of pork. Broil on greased rimmed baking sheet, 8 inches (20 cm) from heat, turning once, until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to platter; pour pan juices over top.
NOTE: Use rosemary with thick stalks.To grill kabobs, cook on greased grill over medium-high heat for 16 to 18 minutes.
Serves 6

Those look really tasty.
ReplyDeleteNice touch with the bacon as the pork tenderloin can get dry.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this dish reminds me i should get some wild rice...luv it.
Those look DEElicious.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't wanna hear about (grump, grump) Spring. We've got ice pellets and snow on the way.
Spring was just teasing us here today. It was warm but snow is promised the rest of the week. Bacon wrapped anything is bound to be good!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious and hope the sun keeps shining bright for you!
ReplyDeleteLoving the bacon Val...great with the rosemary too...keep on enjoying the good weather.
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did with this--its simple, but looks mouthwatering, whether it be the pork, the bacon, the mustard, the rosemary (I might as well name every ingredient, lol!). I don't eat nearly enough pork and will have to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteOh Yummy!! I love anything with Bacon on it...
ReplyDeleteBut Val.. jus think, add some peppercorns, a few madnarin oranges on the skewer and you have yourself Another entry for the Royal Foodie Joust. Oh, but it shouldnt matter - your winning!! Good luck on the joust!
Easy and interesting dish Val!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to do with the tenderloin! Who doesn't love bacon anyway they can get it?
ReplyDeleteOooh Val I love the touch of adding bacon to the pork - yum! This looks delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought spring was here too but woke up this morning to slight snowfall!! Hope spring is here to stay for you :)

Spring? What's that. I'm never optimistic this time of year. One week it's a few warm days- the next week it's snow. I don't put away my winter coat till May.
ReplyDeleteThe kebabs look fantastic. Pork and bacon. How I love the noble pig!
You're right I was surprised to find pork tenderloin here. But what a great idea with the bacon. I'll try it. What had great sunny days, in the Valley, the past couple days.
ReplyDeleteBacon on pork? What more could you want?! :-)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, the bacon makes a perfect wrapping around the total deliciousness you created! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat!!?? You prepared the bacon in the morning before work? You are one dediciate cook.
ReplyDeleteAnd where is the chicken? ;-)

I like the pork on pork - one of those wonderful dress me up or dress me down type dishes
ReplyDeleteIna's beating Jamie Oliver? Nooo!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding- I like Ina also.
This sounds porky and delicious.
Kabobs are one of my favorite things to make, especially if guests are over. You can really load those guys up with meat and veggies! I have a wonderful marinade for pork kabobs that I will have to get to you. Or hey, maybe I will make them and post!!!! Bacon is a great idea and I bet it imparts a nice extra flavor!
ReplyDeleteKeep those fingers crossed:D
No spring here yet, but this dish makes me want to fire up my grill. Good idea with the bacon Val!
ReplyDeleteBacon wrapped tenderloin, mmmm! I'm now looking at my leftover curry from last night and thinking, why?
ReplyDeleteHope you are well.
Cheers
