This recipe for kebabs will blow the pre-made supermarket variety right off the grill.

Let this be the summer of the homemade kebab. None of those $10/lb. pre-made ripoffs this year. Besides, who wants a slice of green pepper every other chunk of meat? Try your hand at these easy kebabs, featuring notoriously succulent pork tenderloin inter-skewered with incredibly grillable pineapple. Brushed with a simple honey glaze, they'll make those supermarket kebabs look like stick figures.

Although the recipe calls for broiling, feel free to toss these on the barbie for extra flavor.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 cup long-grain rice

Directions:

Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes.
