Ingredients

Pork Kabobs

1 to 1¼ pounds boneless top loin pork chops, cut 1 to 1½ inches thick

¼ cup honey

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon grated gingerroot

2 teaspoons grated garlic

¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt

½ teaspoon coarse-ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Vinaigrette

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons hazelnut oil

1 tablespoon honey

½ cup golden raisins

Salad

2 celery stalks, thinly sliced

2 Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced

1 cup lightly packed watercress

1 cup lightly packed red amaranth microgreens

4 green onion tops, thinly sliced; plus additional for garnish

½ Honeycrisp apple, cored and cut into matchsticks

Crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, for topping

Chopped hazelnuts, for topping

Honey, for serving

Sea salt, to taste

Green onions, for garnish

Directions

  1. Slice pork chops against the grain into 3⁄8-inch-thick slices. Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, gingerroot, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Pour mixture over pork in the bag; close bag. Turn bag to evenly coat pork with marinade. Refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
  2. Soak 4 (12-inch) bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat broiler. Drain pork; discard marinade. Thread pork slices accordion-style onto the soaked skewers. Place skewers on a wire rack in a rimmed pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until pork reaches 145°F, turning halfway through.
  4. Meanwhile, for vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, hazelnut oil and 1 tablespoon honey. Stir in raisins; set aside for 10 minutes or until raisins are plump.
  5. For salad, in a large bowl, combine celery, apple slices, watercress, amaranth microgreens and sliced green onion tops. Drizzle with vinaigrette; gently toss to coat.
  6. To serve, on 4 salad plates, arrange apple slices and matchsticks on watercress mixture. Top with Gorgonzola cheese and hazelnuts. Serve with honey, if desired. Season to taste with sea salt. Serve salads with pork kabobs; garnish kabobs with additional sliced green onions, if desired.
