An unusual combination of honey, curry, soy, and chili sauce combine to make a memorable dish. Make them in the broiler, skewer-less, if you choose, as I often do in the winter - after all, you're going to pull them off anyway. A skewer just keeps everything neat and controllable on a grill. Either way, these are unusually tasty, & fast. Just remember to start them marinating in the morning or night before.
In a bowl, combine 1/2 c soy sauce, 1/4 c. honey ( sugar free works great), 1/4 c. chili sauce....slight pause here while I mention that I can tell your age if you're thinking I mean salsa, or hot sauce. No, chili sauce was the predecessor to these items and is nothing like either one. It's more like a hopped-up ketchup. You'll find it in the same grocery sauce section, in a bottle that probably looks just like a seafood cocktail sauce bottle . Back to the ingredients: add 2 TB veg oil, 2 tsp. curry powder, 2 TB finely chopped onion. Mix well, remove half of it and save in the fridge for basting.
Add 2 lbs boneless pork , cut in 1" cubes. Cover and marinate 3 hours or overnight, refrigerated. This is a good use of that pork loin roast you bought on sale, cut up and froze in smaller hunks. Otherwise, you can cut up very thick boneless pork chops.
When ready to cook, drain & discard that marinade and thread the pork on skewers , alternating with 3 or 4 medium onions cut in 4-6 wedges each . Grill over medium heat about 5 minutes. Turn, baste often, and grill about 15 minutes more, until juices run clear. Don't overcook. I use sweet onions, or when using regular white onions, I nuke the wedges for about 2 minutes before grilling them, so they are more tender and not so bite-y.
