Ingredients:
3/4 cup cream sherry, such as bristol cream |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon) |
2 tablespoons dried oregano |
1 tablespoon smoked paprika |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
one 1-pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 34 to 30 (3/4-inch) cubes |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream |
nonstick vegetable oil spray |
1 belgian endive spear, separated into 8 to 10 leaves |
special equipment: eight to ten 4-inch wooden skewers |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sherry, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the garlic.
2. Place the pork in a medium glass bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the pork. Add the oil and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
3. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Add the cream, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Spray a grill pan or grilling rack with nonstick spray. Place the grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
5. Remove the pork from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Thread 3 pieces of pork onto each skewer. Grill the skewers until the pork is golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Place a skewer in each endive leaf. Drizzle the skewers with sauce and serve.
