Kicking honey pork kebabs
I had a little play around with some cooking making a marinade for some pork since I fancied a pork kebab kinda thing. ended up with a honey pork kebabs with a kick to them. sweet honey taste with a slight spicy kick.
takes a bit of preparing though, not a every day meal a extra special treat you might want to save one of your snacks to bulk it up with veg.

not really listed in the prices etc. since I think most people have spice racks and you use hardly any of them to spice it
equipment, herbs & spices
some metal barbecue skewers you can use in the oven
spices
ground ginger
cinnamon
paprika
mild chilli
1 tsp of mustard
preferably the night before or at least 5hrs before your going to eat get a bowl big enough for your pork.
put the 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of mustard, couple of pinches of ground ginger,cinnamon,paprika and depending on how spicy you like your food one to four pinches of mild chilli (don't put too much in tough its only to give a light kick not for full on spicy flavours so no more then about 4 really)
mix all ingredients together till you get a smooth paste. if the honey is too thick to stir you might need to heat it in the microwave for a minute till heats slight to become runny. once its all well mixed together add in your diced pork chunks and mix to coat and cover all the pork. place some cling-film or a cover and place in the fridge to marinade. best to leave it over night for better results.
The next day or about 5 hours later when your ready to eat take the pieces out and carefully place on metal skewers. and cook in the oven or grill (I did mine in the oven with some completely metal skewers resting over a baking tray so the meat didn't hit the bottom of the tray.) for about 30-40mins or till cooked all the way through. cook your veg and rice like normal.
odd mix of spices but I personally really liked it seams to give a lovely sweet honey taste but the spices gave it a extra special kick.
