Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 2 bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 10 bamboo skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade, coating them thoroughly. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, and up to 3 hours for more flavor.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red onion into 1-inch pieces, and the bell peppers and zucchinis into bite-sized chunks.
Once marinated, take the pork cubes and vegetables and start assembling the kebabs. Alternate pieces of pork, red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini on each skewer.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the assembled kebabs on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until the pork is fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Paleo Juicy Pork Kebabs!
