LEMON-GARLIC PORK KEBABS



Lemon-Garlic Pork Kebabs image

When I was a kid our butcher sometimes had a thing called "City Chicken", which was pork cubes threaded on bamboo skewers to be breaded and fried like fried chicken. I haven't seen that in years. But butcher-pack, boneless, pork loin is always cheap at Sam's Club so here's how I adapted a modern, lighter, healthier favorite for chicken to use on "the other white meat."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork skewers are tender and juicy, choose a flavorful cut of pork, such as pork tenderloin or pork loin. Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes for optimal cooking.
  • For a zesty marinade, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to infuse it with flavor.
  • To prevent the wooden skewers from burning during grilling, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the pork cubes onto them.
  • To achieve evenly cooked pork skewers, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally.
  • For a smoky flavor, add a handful of wood chips or chunks to the grill. Alternatively, you can use a smoker box filled with your preferred wood chips.
  • To enhance the taste of the pork skewers, brush them with a glaze made from honey, soy sauce, and garlic during the last few minutes of grilling.
  • Serve the lemon-garlic pork skewers hot off the grill, accompanied by a refreshing tzatziki sauce, grilled vegetables, or a simple green salad.
