Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

How to Make Grilled Pork Skewers with Creamy Sauce

1. In a large bowl, combine the pork cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss until the pork is well-coated, then let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
2. While the pork is marinating, prepare the creamy herb sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir gently to combine and bring to a simmer.
3. Add the chopped parsley, basil, and chives to the sauce. Stir well, allowing the herbs to infuse their flavor into the cream. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Drizzle the creamy herb sauce over the skewers, or serve it on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
• For extra flavor, add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the skewers.
• Allow the pork to marinate longer for a more intense flavor—up to 2 hours in the refrigerator works great!

Easy Variations

• Substitute chicken or beef for the pork tenderloin for a different protein option.
• Experiment with different herbs such as dill or cilantro for a unique twist on the sauce.
• Add a splash of lemon juice or zest to the creamy sauce for a citrusy kick.

What to Serve With It

• Serve the skewers with a fresh green salad for a light meal.
• Pair with grilled vegetables for a colorful and nutritious plate.
• Serve over rice or couscous to soak up the creamy sauce.
