Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 piece Red onion, cut into wedges
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 8 pieces Metal or soaked wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by trimming the pork tenderloin of any visible fat and silverskin. Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes, bell pepper pieces, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto skewers, leaving a small space between each item to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook the kebabs for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the pork is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute within the pork.
Serve the low-fat juicy pork kebabs with a side of whole grain pita and a fresh salad, or your favorite healthy side dish.
