    RAVE NOTICES: A Bar-B-Qued Indonesian dish we highly recommend for your Father's Day dinner or summer cookout. There won't be a speck left over.

  • 1½ lbs. pork tenderloin
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. LEMON ZESTO
  • ½ tsp. Tabasco
  • 3 tbsp. grated onion
  • 1 tsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. coriander
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp. ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • ½ cup Indonesian soya sauce (brand name: Conimex, Ketjap Bentang Manis-Sweet. Try a European Delicatessen) or substitute Kikoman Teriyaki Sauce.
  • Salt & pepper to taste (don't oversalt)
  • Small 8" wooden skewers.
  • Cut pork tenderloin into ¾" cubes and place in shallow dish. Melt butter in saucepan and add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes. Pour over meat, cover and leave overnight in fridge. Turn the meat, periodically (butter will congeal but don't worry). Remove meat from marinade (reserve) and put 5 or 6 pieces on each skewer. Grill on bar-b-que for 15 minutes or until done (don't over cook). Turn frequently - will keep in a warm oven till dinner is served - but best straight off the grill. Reheat marinade and pour over meat. Set on a platter in a bed of rice. Great with spinach salad.

    Serves 6 to 8

    ARLENE'S HINT FOR JUNE

    "While reading through a new lemon cookbook, I came across (again) the importance of grating only the colored part of the lemon for your zest. The white pith under the colored peel gives your grated zest a bitter taste. Food for Thought: ZESTO contains NO pith."
