Ingredients for Skewers:

1- to 1½-pound pork tenderloin, silver skin trimmed and cut into 1½ -inch pieces

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1½-inch pieces

Preparation:

1. To prepare the sauce, combine ingredients in a small bowl and whisk with fork until smooth; set aside. If using all-natural peanut butter, adjust consistency using more or less stock or water.

2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Toss pork cubes with soy and honey; season with salt and pepper. Alternately thread pork, pepper, and pineapple onto skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak for 15 minutes before using.)

3. Oil the grate of your grill, then sear the skewers 2 minutes on all four sides, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°. Remove from grill and serve with prepared sauce.
