Description

Imagine succulent pork, infused with smoky char and mingling with the sweetness of bell peppers, all brought together on a skewer. These pork and pepper kebabs are a delightful dance of flavors and textures, a satisfying meal that is both simple to prepare and deeply enjoyable. The pork, ideally cut from the shoulder, becomes incredibly tender when cooked, each bite releasing a savory richness that is perfectly complemented by the vibrant bell peppers.

The beauty of these kebabs lies in their versatility. Whether you choose to thread them and grill them over an open flame for that unmistakable smoky kiss, or opt for the convenience of oven-grilling indoors, the result is consistently delicious. The peppers, as they roast, transform, their crispness yielding to a tender sweetness that balances the savory pork.

The visual appeal is undeniable, too - the vibrant colors of the peppers against the caramelized pork make for an enticing presentation. Preparing these kebabs is straightforward. Simply thread the pork and pepper chunks onto skewers, alternating colors and textures for visual appeal.

A simple marinade can elevate the flavors even further, infusing the pork with aromatic herbs and spices. Consider a blend of garlic, paprika, and oregano for a classic Mediterranean touch, or explore bolder options with chili flakes or cumin for a hint of warmth. A drizzle of olive oil before grilling ensures that the kebabs remain moist and develop a beautiful char.

These kebabs are a complete meal on their own, but also pair well with a variety of sides. A refreshing green salad, dressed with a light vinaigrette, provides a crisp contrast to the richness of the pork. For a heartier accompaniment, consider serving the kebabs alongside fluffy rice or roasted vegetables.

The possibilities are endless, allowing you to customize your meal to your liking. These pork and pepper kebabs are a celebration of simple ingredients, transformed into a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice the peppers lengthwise and remove the core. Roughly chop the peppers into bite-sized chunks and add to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced pork to the bowl along with the olive oil, lemon zest, coriander, paprika, and cayenne.
    2.
    Using your hands, massage the seasonings into the pork. Cover and transfer to the fridge to marinate for half an hour.
    3.
    Whilst the mixture is marinating, soak 4 wooden kebab skewers in water to prevent catching in the oven.
    4.
    Dividing the mixture evenly, thread the pork and pepper pieces onto the kebab skewers, alternating as you go. Season with salt and pepper.
    5.
    Heat the oven grill to high and grill for 10-15 minutes or until the pork is thoroughly cooked through and no longer pink in the center, turning frequently.
