Broiled Pork Kebabs and Jicama, Cabbage & Scallion salad

Don't give your oven broiler a leave of absence this summer.

Although you may anticipate grilling during the warm weather months, broiling is still a valuable technique.

The entrees you're more likely to select for a twosome, such as tender cuts of beef or pork, as well as fish and seafood, cook to succulence in minutes in the broiler just as they do on the grill.

Like grilling, broiling cooks by direct heat. When you grill you place the food over heat; broiling is the reverse, the flame is over the food.

However, the broiler is a lot more convenient when it's pouring down rain or when you're too tired to stand over your food.

But, ideally, you'd have the option to either grill or broil a particular recipe, according to your mood and the forecast.

The following recipe for broiled pork kebobs is equally delicious cooked indoors or out.

Start by marinating in a mixture of soy sauce, lemon juice and sesame oil. Make your decision when the meat is ready.
