PORK TENDERLOIN JAVANESE 
2 lbs. pork tenderloin
6 Brazil nuts, grated
1 c. minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. soy sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 c. olive or vegetable oil
Hot Saffron rice, or lightly curried rice, with currants

Trim excess fat from meat. Cut meat into 1 inch cubes. Combine nuts, onion, garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, seasonings and oil. Add pork cubes; marinate for 10 minutes.

Place pork on metal skewers; reserve marinade. Grill over coals, or broil for about 10 minutes on each side, brushing once on each side with the reserved marinade. Serve pork on skewers along with hot rice. Serves 4-6.

 C.F. Megrail (Kansas) says:
This is a "standard" recipe of mine, taken from a Jr. League cookbook -- however, I use scaled down proportions of the marinade combined with chicken broth to cook/season the rice. Grilled zucchini, cherry tomatoes, onions, peppers and/or crookneck squash are great with it. I also find that 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper is often too much for a family meal with children. You may also want to try using 2 tbsp of coriander instead of 1 tbsp in the marinade. If you don't have Brazil nuts -- I use peanut oil instead of olive or general vegetable oil for flavor.

I got this recipe from my mom and I had no idea where it came from. Googled the ingredients to find this. This is our favorite marinade for pork tenderloin kabobs with onion, mushrooms, zucchini and bell pepper served with rice.
