**Curried Pork Kebabs**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 ½ pounds pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon curry powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon turmeric
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
**Instructions:**
1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a fragrant marinade.
2. Add the pork cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
4. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
5. Place the pork kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.
6. Once the pork is done, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve the Curried Pork Kebabs hot off the grill, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or mint, and accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
This recipe yields juicy, flavorful kebabs that are perfect for any occasion. The blend of curry spices adds a touch of exotic flair to the succulent pork, while the grilling process creates a delicious smokiness that enhances the overall taste.
