The oregano colors this pork slightly green-and gives it great flavor. If you grind dried oregano leaves in a spice grinder, the color is less green. Slice the remaining guava paste, and serve it as an appetizer with queso fresco cheese and crackers. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon ground oregano |
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes |
2 large onions, each cut into 16 wedges |
cooking spray |
1 cup chopped commercial guava paste (about 12 ounces) |
1/2 cup less-sodium beef broth |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
2 tablespoons dark rum |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. To prepare pork, combine oregano, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add pork; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Thread pork and onion alternately onto 16 (8-inch) skewers.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Place skewers on a grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill 14 minutes or until done, turning occasionally. Arrange skewers on a platter; keep warm.
4. To prepare sauce, combine guava paste and the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook 8 minutes or until smooth, stirring constantly. Serve sauce with pork.
