--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                    boneless pork loin roast (2 1/2
                        pounds)
   6      cloves        garlic -- finely minced
     1/3  cup           fresh lime juice
   3      tablespoons   brown sugar
   3      tablespoons   soy sauce
   2      tablespoons   vegetable oil
   2      teaspoons     ground black pepper
     1/4  teaspoon      ground red (cayenne) pepper
   8                    green onions -- cut in 2" pieces,
                        optional

Cutting crosswise, cut about 1 pound off roast; cut this pound crosswise
 into six 1/2-inch-thick chops. Set aside in 9-by-13-by-2-inch dish. 
Stand remaining 1 1/2 pound roast on end; cut roast in half, slicing down,
 across width and cutting lengthwise to make 2 wide slabs. Cut each slab
 across grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices; place in dish with chops.
 In medium bowl, combine garlic, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce, oil, black pepper
 and red pepper. Spoon mixture over each pork chop and each pork slice; 
cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Thread pork slices,
 ribbon style, onto 4 to 6 (12- to 14-inch) metal skewers, alternating pork 
with green onion pieces. Grill skewers and chops over medium-hot briquets 
about 3 minutes per side or until no longer pink in center. Chops may 
require 1 to 2 minutes longer. Do not overcook. Remove skewers; serve pork slices immediately. 
(Cover and refrigerate grilled chops for Thai pork salad). Yield: 4 to 6 skewers
 (plus 6 pork chops for Thai pork salad).
