Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Oil Spray
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco, divided
- 6 ribs celery, cut crosswise in halves or thirds, then lengthwise into sticks
Instructions
- Preheat broiler and arrange a rack 4 inches from the heat. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking oil.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and milk.
- Season with salt and set aside. In another small bowl, combine the butter and 2 tablespoons of the hot sauce. Set both mixtures aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the pork and remaining 2 tablespoons of hot sauce. Season generously with salt. Thread the pork onto skewers and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Broil for 4 minutes. Turn and broil until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove pork from broiler and let rest at least 3 minutes. While pork is resting, brush both sides with the butter mixture.
- Serve the skewers and celery sticks with the blue cheese sauce on the side.
Notes
- While this crowd-pleasing appetizer is great for the holidays, it’s also perfect for football weekends, tailgating, and other entertaining year-round. If you’d like, you can use boneless pork loin chops instead of the tenderloin. And, while it wouldn’t be traditional, you can swap the celery for carrot sticks, or serve a combination of the two.
