Bridget Maloney
Ingredients:
- Lemon & Garlic Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet
- 1 Smithfield Lemon & Garlic Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 Lemon, sliced
- 1 cup Italian flat leaf parsley, leaves only
- 1 cup Fresh basil, leaves only
- 1/4 cup Fresh oregano, leaves only
- 1 cup Medium shallot, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
- 4 Anchovy filets
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat
- While the grill is heating, cut the loin filet into 16 even cubes, by splitting the filet in half lengthwise and cutting each length into 8 cubes
- Thread 4 soaked wooden or metal skewers each with one cube of pork, one slice of lemon, and a few pieces of onion, repeating the process 3 more times
- Place the parsley, basil, oregano, shallot, garlic, anchovies, crushed red pepper, and red wine vinegar in the base of a food processor fitted with the S-blade
- Pulse the ingredients until roughly chopped, then, with the processor on low, drizzle the oil in bit by bit until a slightly chunky sauce is formed, reserve
- Grill the skewers, turning frequently, until cooked to an internal temperature of 140 degrees and slightly charred, about 15 minutes
- Remove the skewers from the grill and immediately spoon some of the salsa verde over each, reserving the remaining sauce to serve on the side
- Serve on a platter with a small bowl of salsa verde on the side and with a green salad on the side
