Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the onion and cut the red bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Add them to the bowl with the pork.
In a small bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and oregano.
Juice the lemon and add both the juice and zest, along with chopped fresh parsley, to the marinade bowl. Mix well.
Pour the marinade over the pork and vegetables. Toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the pork and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between pork, onion, and bell pepper pieces.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
