Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 small red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
4 pickled sweet cherry peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced, plus 1/4 cup brine
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt
4 ounces mini farfalle pasta (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 cup bocconcini (small mozzarella balls), halved
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Soak 4 wooden skewers in water 15 to 20 minutes to prevent scorching. Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the pork, bell peppers, red onion, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons cherry pepper brine, the oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; toss.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water; transfer the pasta to a large bowl and add the cherry peppers, the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons brine, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss.
  • Thread the bell peppers, pork and red onion, alternating, onto the skewers. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the kebabs. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are well marked, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the basil, parsley and bocconcini to the bowl with the pasta; season with pepper and toss. Serve the kebabs with the pasta salad.

This dish is a great make-ahead meal. You can marinate the pork and make the pasta salad ahead of time. Then, all you have to do is grill the kebabs and assemble the dish.

The pasta salad is the perfect side dish for these kebabs. It's light and refreshing, and it doesn't overpower the flavor of the kebabs.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some leftover pork roast and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I served the kebabs and pasta salad with a side of tzatziki sauce and it was the perfect complement to the dish.

I added some grilled vegetables to the kebabs and they were a great addition. The vegetables added a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

I used chicken instead of pork and it turned out great. The kebabs were still tender and juicy, and the pasta salad was just as delicious.
