Pineapple-Pork Kebabs

PINEAPPLE-PORK KEBABS

Kebabs are a simple and quick-to-prepare summertime meal. And this recipe for Pineapple-Pork Kebabs is so delicious, it's sure to become one of your family's favorites.

Serves 4

¾
cup pineapple juice
¼
cup honey
1
tablespoon soy sauce
1
scallion, thinly sliced
1
tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
4
cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1
teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
¼
teaspoon crush red pepper flakes

Canola oil, for greasing
1
pork tenderloin (about 1½-pounds), trimmed and cut into 1½-inch cubes
1
medium pineapple, trimmed, peeled and cut into 1½-inch cubes
2
bell peppers, trimmed, seeds removed and cut into 1½-inch pieces

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Lime wedges, for garnish

In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, scallion, cilantro, garlic, ginger, and crush red pepper flakes. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Preheat the grill to medium-high and grease the grate with a little canola oil. Arrange the cubes of pork, pineapple, and bell pepper on long skewers. Season the kebabs with salt and black pepper. Place the kebabs on the preheated grill and brush with some of the reserved pineapple sauce.

Continue to grill, turning the kebabs and basting them with some of the pineapple sauce every few minutes, until the pork is cooked through and the peppers are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the kebabs from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the finished kebabs with freshly chopped cilantro, and season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Arrange the kebabs on a serving platter and garnish with lime wedges.
