I really enjoyed the flavors of the spice rub combined with the chile paste. I doubled the rub & chile pepper ingredients. Served this with grilled zucchini and couscous and it was great. The whole meal took only 20 minutes to prepare.
Spice-Rubbed Pork Skewers with Tomatoes
If using wooden skewers, soak them in about two inches of water for approximately 15 minutes while the grill heats, and pat them dry before adding the meat and tomatoes. This prevents the skewers from burning on the grill.
