Curried Pork and Orange Kabobs -George Foreman or Outdoor Grill

I saved this recipe for Curried Pork and Orange Kabobs as soon as I saw that they added chunks of orange to the skewers, loved that different idea! While it calls for a naval orange I used a clementine... Why? Say it with me now... Because that's what I had on hand-right. The directions really don't say what we're supposed to do with the orange once it's cooked, so I tried it three ways: I ate it whole with a piece of meat and that was good. I took a bite of the flesh of orange with some meat and that was messy but very good. And finally, I squeezed the orange juice over the meat and discarded the rest, that was very good too. This would be a fun recipe if you have an abundance of nice big colorful peppers:@)
I used my George Foreman Grill and that worked out fine. Substituting chicken for the pork would be a nice idea too. 
Leftovers? Serve over rice, just squeeze the OJ over everything. Or, wrap in a tortilla with a little sour cream and cheddar cheese.
