Ingredients
Pork
- 500 g pork loin cut into cubes
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 2.5 cm pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 2.5 cm pieces
- 1 red onion cut into 2.5 cm pieces
- wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Dipping Sauce
- 150 g Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make the marinade.
- Place the pork cubes in a separate bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the pork to ensure it's evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if possible, to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the pork is marinating, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and refrigerate until serving.
- Once the pork has marinated, thread the marinated pork cubes, red bell pepper pieces, yellow bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces alternately onto the wooden skewers.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with a little extra olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Serve the Spanish pork skewers hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and accompanied by the dipping sauce.Enjoy your delicious Spanish pork skewers!
