Hi,
Today I have something a little more dificult to make but the reward is awesome and very delicious!
We are going to make Mexican Pork Kebabs! Hot and delicious!
Let's get it done!


Ingredients

The Marinade:

  • 1 dried hot red chile, stemmed and seeded.
  • 1 Tbs. grated lime zest.
  • 2 Tbs. fresh lime juice.
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion.
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice.
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano.
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin.
  • 1 tsp. light brown sugar.
  • 1 Tbs. chopped canned chipotle in adobo (I like Herdez brand).
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic.
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt.
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil.

The Kebabs

  • 2 pork tenderloins (1 to 1-1/4 lb. each), trimmed, halved lengthwise, and sliced into 1-1/2-inch-thick half-rounds.
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • 2 fresh poblano chiles, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch squares.
  • 16 medium radishes, trimmed.
  • 16 scallions, root ends trimmed.
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Preparation

Let's make the marinade...

Soak the red chile in very hot water to cover until softened, about 15 minutes.
Drain the chile and put it in a blender, along with all the remaining marinade ingredients.
Blend until smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup of the marinade for basting.
Put the remaining marinade and the pork in a large zip-top bag, seal, and massage the contents to coat.
Marinate for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Remove the pork; discard the marinade.

Let's make the kebabs...

Thread the meat onto skewers, alternating with the onion, the poblano pieces, and the whole radishes.
Build a medium-hot charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to medium high and oil the grill grate. I've cooked this with charcoal but you can do them by using your oven, or a gril pan!
Grill the kebabs (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas), turning every 2 to 3 min.
Once the pork loses its raw look, baste with the reserved marinade each time you turn the skewers.
Grill until the pork is firm to the touch and the edges have begun to brown and the vegetables have begun to color and soften, about 15 min.
Mound the skewers on a warm platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
Brush the scallions with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Grill until they begin to brown and soften, turning frequently, 3 to 5 min.
