3 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons salt
2 large onions, peeled
2 cups dried apricots (10 to 11 ounces)

5 bacon slices, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons apricot preserves
Olive oil (for brushing grill rack)
Special Equipment
12 metal skewers

Steps:

  • Arrange pork tenderloin in one 11 x 7 x 2- inch glass baking dish and lamb in another 11 x 7 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon curry powder, coriander, peppercorns, and salt in small bowl; sprinkle half of mixture over pork and remaining half over lamb and stir. Slice 1 onion and place in medium bowl; add apricots, orange peel, red wine, vinegar, 1/2 cup whipping cream, and oil; stir to blend. Divide onion-apricot marinade between dish with pork and dish with lamb. Cover both dishes; chill at least 4 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Cut remaining onion in half crosswise, then cut each half into quarters. Separate quarters into individual onion layers; set aside. Place large fine-mesh strainer over large saucepan. Add pork mixture to strainer and allow marinade to drain into saucepan. Transfer pork to medium bowl. Repeat with lamb mixture, allowing marinade to drain into same saucepan. Transfer lamb to another medium bowl.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Use boneless, skinless pork shoulder or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil for at least 30 minutes helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Skewer the pork and vegetables: Alternate pieces of pork, apricot halves, and red onion wedges on metal skewers.
  • Grill the kebabs: Grill the kebabs over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Make the glaze: While the kebabs are cooking, make a simple glaze by combining apricot preserves, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Glaze the kebabs: Brush the glaze on the kebabs during the last few minutes of cooking.

Conclusion:

These pork, apricot, and red onion kebabs are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a summer cookout. The pork is tender and flavorful, the apricots add a touch of sweetness, and the red onions provide a bit of sharpness. The glaze adds a sticky, caramelized layer that takes these kebabs to the next level. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or salad.
