Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 0.25 cup almond butter
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 bamboo skewers
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thinly slice the pork tenderloin into strips about 1/4 inch thick, threading each strip onto the skewers.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, lime juice, coconut milk, curry powder, and chili flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the pork skewers in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally longer for better flavor.
For the dipping sauce, whisk together almond butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, fish sauce, and a tablespoon of coconut milk in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Once ready, preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking, then add the pork skewers.
Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pork is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Serve the pork skewers with the almond butter dipping sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.
