PORK SHISH-KA-BOBS (MORROCAN
STYLE)
 
My mother grew up in Morocco, and this is one of the recipes she brought with her when she came to the United States. It is simple, but absolutely delicious!!

3-4 lb. pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 Roma tomatoes
1 tbsp. cumin
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Cut tomatoes in quarters and place in blender (you may need to add a little at a time depending on what your blender can handle). Puree tomatoes, adding spices to incorporate. Place cubed pork in a large resealable bag, then add 1/2 of the tomato mixture, reserving the other half in the refrigerator. Let meat marinate overnight if possible, but at least 4 hours.

Place on bamboo skewers (if grilling, soak skewers for an hour or so in water to avoid flares). Broil or grill for approximately 8-10 minutes per side. Watch for charring, and turn as needed. Serve with remaining chilled tomato puree.

The cool taste of the tomatoes is a great accompaniment in the summer to a wonderful warm dish! Make it a Moroccan classic with a side of rice pilaf or cous-cous!
