Cook Time: 8 Minutes

Ready In: 33 Minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1/2 cup orange juice

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon dried cilantro

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 1/2 pounds)

1/2 cup reduced-fat creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 teaspoon hot sauce

2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon dark brown sugar

1 peanut crunch candy bar, finely crushed (recommended: planters peanut bar)

2 ounces fat free pretzels, finely ground (about 1/3 cup)

special equipment: wooden skewers soaked 1 hour ahead

Directions:

1. To make the satay: Combine all ingredients except the pork and pour into a shallow, nonreactive dish. Cut the pork tenderloins across into 2-inch-thick pieces. Pound each piece until very thin and even. Place in the dish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
2. To make the sauce: Stir all ingredients except peanut crunch candy bar and pretzels until smooth. Place in a serving bowl. Combine peanut crunch candy bar and pretzels and place in a separate serving bowl.
3. Remove the pork from the marinade, pat dry and cut into 1 1/2-inch thick strips. Thread onto the skewers. Light a grill or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
4. Serve immediately, with the sauce for dipping. Have guests first dip satay in sauce and then in crunch bar and pretzels.
