No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Barbecue Pork Loin with Veggie Skewers and Tabbouleh
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
For the Pork
  • 1 tablespoon each garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt & pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dehydrated onion flakes
  • 2 pork loins (remove the silver skin)2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
For the Veggie Skewers
  • 20 button mushrooms
  • 20 cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon each salt & pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
For the Tabbouleh
  • 1/2 cup boiling chicken broth or water
  • 1/4 cup bulgur
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups chopped parsley
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 English cucumber, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Pork
  1. Mix the spices with olive oil and lemon juice. Rub the mixture all over your pork loins and let it marinate in the fridge for an hour or up to overnight.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium high heat. Place the pork loins on a lightly oiled grill and cook for about 30 minutes or until pork is cooked through.
  3. You can speed up cooking time by butterflying the meat or cutting it in half if it's too thick. When you remove it from the grill, wrap in foil and let it sit for 10 minutes before you cut it up.
Vegetables
  1. Was the mushrooms and tomatoes then coat them in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. I don't usually wash mushrooms in water but in this case we cooked them right away so it was okay to wash them that way.
  2. Soak 6-8 wooden skewers in hot water for 10 minutes then skewer the vegetables. Place the skewers on the brill about 15 minutes before the meat should be done.
Tabbouleh
  1. In a bowl, add the boiling broth. Stir in bulgur, olive oil, salt and pepper with a fork. Cover with plastic and set aside for 20 minutes.
  2. When the bulgur is tender and cooled, add all other ingredients and gently toss to coat the bulgur. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
