Pork & Roasted Vegetables Kabobs
We have all heard of the “other white meat,” haven’t we? Pork. Of course, we have. But did you know pork is one of the easiest meats to prepare? But check this out, because I can do you one even better.
Tonight I was in a rush and, to be honest, I dropped the mommy ball, and what we were going to have for dinner tonight was anybodies guess.
But half of the problem is already solved, since tonight I selected the Smithfield® Garlic & Herb Marinated Pork from the meats section at my local Kroger grocery store. And for a limited time, you can download a coupon to use as well!
Do you ever just walk into a store and make your dinner menu as you shop?
Okay, I got the pork, what’s next? What’s it going to be? Alright, let’s grab some veggies. I grab some of my kid’s favorite veggies, fresh sweet corn on the cob, red and Yukon potatoes, onions and some baby Portabella mushrooms.
Okay, okay I got this. I know what I’m making tonight. Kabobs. They’re quick, easy to make, and the boys love them. We all do. I’ll grab additional veggies from our home garden. Yes, it is early October, and our garden is still providing us with lots of peppers, summer squash, and zucchini. And with the pork, my dinner menu for tonight is complete. And since this particular pork is already marinated, we don’t have to add seasoning! So, that means all I have to do is cook it.
I decided to sear the pork all over and finish it in the oven, following the easy to follow directions on the package. Bata Bing and bata boom! And dinner is served.
Next time you’re coming up with nada for dinner ideas remember the “other white meat”, and keep the Smithfield® Marinated Pork selections on your “what’s for dinner” radar. And remember, Smithfield® Marinated Pork is perfect any night!
Cooks in minutes disappears in seconds!

Can I change up the vegetables used in kabobs?
Yes you can change up the vegetables used. I wanted to really use a variety of veggies as it is going to give you tons of flavor. The corn offers a nice sweetness while the peppers and potatoes are more savory.
What are the best skewers to use?
I used metal skewers for pushing on my meat and vegetables. Now they do have wooden skewers as well you can use. The one thing with the wood ones is to make sure to watch that the wood doesn’t splinter off.
Storing Leftovers
Take the meat and veggies off the skewers and store your kebab pork and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge. The meat and veggies will store for 2-3 days. I find the vegetables soften up quite a bit once they have cooled down in the fridge.
Reheat in the microwave or even in a skillet on the stove. Add a splash of water with pork to help prevent the pork form drying out.
Can I use a non-seasoned pork tenderloin?
You can buy a plain pork tenderloin that you end up seasoning as you want. You can use a liquid marinade or even a dry rub if you prefer. You can bake or grill your tenderloin as you wish.
