Ingredients
- 500 grams pork tenderloin
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 150 grams low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes. Chop the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares and slice the red onion into similarly sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, alternating them with red and yellow bell peppers and slices of red onion.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a slightly charred exterior.
Step 8
Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving hot with your choice of sides.
