Pork and Pepper Kabobs

BBQ season is here again!  Here is a simple kabob recipe for pork…throw a little pineapple on for sweetness if you like.

2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
3 tbsp tomato based chili sauce or ketchup
2 tbsp + 2 tsp olive oil or vegetable oil
2 tsp lime juice
1 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crumbled dried marjoram
675 g pork loin or shoulder, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 poblano pepper or 1 sweet green pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
Half red onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
Lime wedges


  • Mix together garlic, chili sauce, 2 tbsp of the oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, 1/2 tsp of the salt and marjoram; toss with pork until coated.  Marinate for 20 minutes or covered and refrigerated, up to 8 hours.
  • Stir together peppers, onion and remaining oil and salt until coated.  Alternately thread pork, peppers and onion onto skewers.
  • Grill, covered on greased grill over medium heat, turning once until just a hint of pink remains inside for loin or until no longer pink inside for fattier shoulder, about 15 minutes.  Serve with lime wedges.
Makes 4 to 6 main course servings.
