Marinated, tender Teriyaki Pork Kebabs with vegetables, brushed with a tangy basting sauce and grilled to perfection over the coals or indoors.
Kebabs are my favorite meat to make for a barbecue, but I also like to make kebabs during the week.
That is usually not possible, as we have our dinner late afternoon/early evening. And I am not always sure what time hubby would be home to light up our charcoal braai.
A couple of weeks ago, I bought a new toy, and no, this is not a review. I am just showing you what I use to cook these Teriyaki Pork Kebabs quickly and easily – indoors.
I had been eyeing the Kebaba for a while now and am really glad I finally bought one. The Kebabs only takes about 12 – 15 minutes (without having to wait for a charcoal fire!) to grill.
And there was hardly any mess at all to clean up. The picture on the left is the Kebaba without the outer casing which slips over easily.
Right, I did say this is not a review therefore let’s get on to today’s recipe. The marinade made the Pork melt-in-the-mouth tender whilst still juicy.
I love the basting sauce, and one batch was more than enough for the 8 kebabs I had, to baste them around three times – which I did at 5 minute intervals.
This recipe is versatile in that you can add whatever vegetables you prefer, as the Basting Sauce goes with just about anything.
I have a thing for adding Pineapple to my kebabs, and that worked just fine as well. You can always use white button mushrooms as well, instead of Portolini.

I never think to make kebabs, but they are so versatile and quick cooking. The marinade & basting sauces look wonderful.

Linda ~ I love little "toys" like this! My kids love kebabs, so I probably should look into getting one too - for nights that it's raining or when my hubby isn't home to stand out in the sun BBQ'ing for me! LOL! Pinning this recipe - the basting sauce sounds soooo good! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday Linky Party! We'll see you next week I hope, Julia :-)
