Summertime is grilling time and here is one of the best recipes for BBQ Pork EVER! The rub on this pork works great to lock in the moisture and saturate the meat with deep rich flavors of exotic coriander and licorice scented fennel seed. The touch of coffee flavor adds a bold mellow note that puts this dish over the top! My recipe for Rotisserie Pork with Fennel and Coriander – Served with Grilled Peaches is a classic!
The caramelized and crispy outer layer is what everyone will want. When you serve this with grilled peaches you get a great bite of juicy sweet against the smokey pork that is a symphony of summer love. The rich flavor of this rub is hard to beat.
My husband David is quite an accomplished grill master.
Today most barbecues have a built in attachment for rotisserie. If you have this option, simply pierce the meat through the center with the skewer and screw on the prongs to hold the meat in place. The best part about rotisserie cooking is that it is very little work – once you have the meat cooking, it’s easy to relax.
The trick to getting great grill marks on your peaches is to lightly oil the grill with vegetable oil, make sure the grill is nice and hot, then baste the second side with a little brown sugar butter.
This is recipe has become one of our family’s favorite summer dishes. In the wintertime you can substitute the peaches for sauteed apples in ginger butter. I hope you will be blessed by this style of everyday gourmet cooking! From our Christian Home to yours~ Bon Appetit!
