Pork and Polenta Skewers with Spicy Honey Sauce

Hello and Happy Foodie Friday!

Today’s recipe is inspired by all the attention corn has been getting on the internet. Ha!

One of my favorite foods made with corn is polenta, which is made from cornmeal! And polenta is considered an ancient grain. Pretty cool, right? Check out how we made these skewers using polenta, red bell pepper and pork. I also love how it also looks like candy corn…anybody else see the resemblance?

Special thanks to Chef Harpster for helping with this recipe.

Pork and Polenta Skewers with Spicy Honey Sauce

20 minutes
11 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

1 TB butter or oil
1 tsp minced garlic
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
1 pound pork loin, cut into 1" pieces
2-3 red bell peppers, large dice
1/2 cup honey
2 jalapeño, seeded and diced
2 TB low sodium soy sauce
2 TB cilanro, chopped

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, warm oil over medium heat and add garlic. Saute without browning.
Add stock and bring to a simmer.
Stir in cornmeal and mix well. Turn heat to a low simmer.
Add salt and pepper and cook until thick.
Pour polenta into a cake pan or half baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator and allow to cool. When properly chilled, slice and prepare for skewers.
Soak skewers in water at least 30 minutes before cooking. Thread skewers with pork, polenta and red bell pepper. Cook in an air fryer or oven at 375 F for 10 minutes or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 F.
While pork is cooking, combine honey, minced peppers and soy sauce in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Reduce slightly and drizzle on skewers immediately after coming out of the oven.
Garnish with chopped cilantro
