Being Latina,I always like to inject a bit of Latin flavors into my holiday picnics. I like to mix things up a bit! Sometimes picnics can be a challenge; you want variety, but you also want it to be easy and palatable. nowadays, or I bring you two Latin flavors,which combine to create a palatable grilling sauce that will add a bit of heat and sweetness to your Fourth of July outdoor eating experience: coconut milk and habanero sauce! The taste of these two ingredients will leave your guests asking for more. The pork cubes are marinated in a citrus sauce for at least six hours. Then comes the fun piece: assembling the skewers.
The skewers are a beautiful display of color contrasts, alternating meat, or cherry tomatoes,red onion, and mango chunks. Very pretty! All this is then grilled and brushed with the coconut-habanero marinade to absolute perfection. These skewers will go powerful with any side dish. I like them with rice!
