Ingredients

2 cups plain yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes

8 small white onions, halved

8 cherry tomatoes

1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces

1 medium green pepper, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1 Prepare the marinade

2 In a shallow dish, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin and coriander. Add the cubed pork and coat each piece thoroughly in the marinade. Editor’s Tip: To ensure even cooking, make sure the pieces of pork are chopped uniformly before beginning.

3 Refrigerate the pork

4 Cover the dish and refrigerate for six hours or overnight. The longer you marinate the meat, the more tender and flavorful the meat will become.

5 Make the skewers

6 Once the pork has marinated, thread your skewers by alternating pork, onions, tomatoes and peppers onto skewers. This should make eight wooden or metal skewers. Sprinkle the threaded skewers with salt and pepper. Editor’s Tip: Using wooden skewers? Soak them in water for 30 to 60 minutes ahead of time to stop them from burning. Make sure to do this even if they were previously frozen.

7 Grill the kabobs

8 Heat your grill to medium. Grill the skewers for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. You’ll know they’re done when the juice runs clear and they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (a meat thermometer will help you out here). Editor’s Tip: Squirt some extra lemon juice over the skewers once they’re done cooking for an extra zing of flavor.
