Pork With Pepper Kebabs

This recipe is great for barbecues, but if the weather is not BBQ weather …don’t worry …as these can be cooked indoors under the grill. It’s a nice recipe for making pork with green or red pepper kebab skewers. Kebabs are easy, tasty and can be prepared beforehand. You will need 4 skewers for this recipe.
