Suggestions:

Make ahead or have your guests skewer their own. Serve as an appetizer or as an entrée. They're easy to make and to clean up afterwords!

Ingredients:

2 lb boneless pork chops, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing

2 Tbsp dried red pepper flakes

1 Tbsp fennel seed

1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

24 (6-inch) wooden skewers (soak in water for 30 minutes before using)

Directions:

Place pork cubes in resealable plastic bag; add salad dressing, red pepper flakes and fennel seed. Seal bag; shake the bag lightly to mix contents. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to overnight to marinate pork.

When ready to cook, thread skewers, alternating pork, bell pepper cubes, and onion pieces. Discard marinade.

Place kebobs on greased broiler pan and broil 5 inches from heat, or grill over medium-hot coals/grill, for about 5 minutes per side.

Variations:

Can replace bell peppers with other vegetable pieces, if desired.
