Calories: 115kcal

Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • ¼ cup plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. curry powder
  • 1 tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp. lime zest
  • ½ tsp. ground coriander
  • ½ tsp. salt

For the Kabobs

  • lb. pork tenderloin cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 cups cubed pineapple about ½ of a fresh pineapple*
  • 1 each red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts optional garnish
  • Fresh cilantro optional garnish
  • 1 lime sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients (yogurt, curry powder, brown sugar, soy sauce, turmeric, lime, lime zest, coriander and salt) Stir until well combined.
  • In a gallon size ziplock/resealable plastic bag (or large shallow bowl) pour marinade over pork cubes, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour ( up to 6 hours).
  • If using wooden skewers soak in water for at least 30 mins. (you will need 12)
  • Seed and trim the bell peppers, and cut into 1 inch pieces. Peel and chop the onion into similar sized pieces.
  • Preheat the BBQ grill or grill pan to medium. (if using oven to cook see directions in the notes section below).
  • Thread 12 skewers with alternating pieces of onion, bell pepper (red and green), pineapple, and pork until all the pieces are used. Optional step- spray each skewer lightly with cooking spray.
  • Grill skewers 3-4 mins on each side until pork is cooked through (approx.12-16 min.total) being careful not to overcook (pork will continue to cook slightly once removed from the grill). Garnish cooked skewers with fresh cilantro, chopped peanuts and a squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes

* If cooking in the oven:Preheat the broiler on high for 5 min. Place skewers on a broiler pan or a sheet pan with wire racks set on top.
Adjust the oven rack so that the top of the skewers will be 5-6 inches from the broiler. Place the skewers under the broiler and cook until the edges begin to brown ( about 4-5 min.). Turn the skewers over and return to the oven for an additional f4-5 minutes (or until the skewers are evenly browned on all sides). Be careful not to overcook. Pork will continue to cook once you remove it from the oven
