October in Nebraska, and the maples, lindens, red oaks and ash trees celebrate the season in burnt orange, yellow and ruby. The October sky provides a turquoise back drop. Air is clean and crisp, and we invite friends to a backyard barbecue (or tailgating on game day) to enjoy this brief passage into the winter season.
We are grilling tender pork kebabs richly flavored by a Spicy Beer mustard and Rosemary marinade. The cooking is easy, and the over-the-top flavor makes the party deliciously memorable.
I prefer an easy and early prep to free me, the host, when guests arrive. I make the marinade and cut the pork in chunks a day before the barbecue. I pour the marinade and pork in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. The grill will please your guests, and you, the host, will feel at ease and join the fun on this fine October day.
