Ingredients
- 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, olive oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Add pork cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- Thread 4-5 pork cubes onto each skewer, leaving a small space between pieces.
- Grill kebabs, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes (internal temperature 145°F).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Substitute pork loin for a leaner option, but reduce grilling time to avoid drying out.
- Serve with warm pita, tzatziki, and a fresh salad.
- Leftover kebabs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
