Sweet and Sour Pork Kabobs image

Making these zesty pork kabobs is as much fun as eating them. And as a 4-H leader with a quartet of 4-H'ers of my own at home, I can count on plenty of help preparing them. My husband enjoys grilling our kabobs outdoors. On rainy days, he broils them up juicy and tender in the oven. Either way, I always make sure to make enough for seconds.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, firm swordfish steaks. Avoid frozen or previously frozen fish, as it will not have the same texture or taste.
  • If you can't find swordfish, you can substitute another firm-fleshed fish, such as tuna, salmon, or halibut.
  • Make sure the fish is cut into 1-inch cubes before threading it onto the skewers. This will help ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
  • To prevent the fish from sticking to the grill, brush the grates with oil before cooking.
  • Cook the fish over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the grilled swordfish kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, tartar sauce, or tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour grilled swordfish kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The fish is tender and flavorful, and the sweet and sour sauce adds a delicious tang. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook swordfish, I highly recommend trying this recipe.
