Ingredients
- 1 pound pork loin
- 2 medium red bell peppers

- 2 medium red onion
- 2 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon rosemary
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- 1Cut the lean pork loin into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
- 2Chop the bell peppers, red onions, and zucchini into chunks suitable for skewers.
- 3In a separate bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt to create the marinade.
- 4Pour the marinade over the pork cubes and vegetables, mixing well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- 5While the pork and vegetables are marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- 6Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat.
- 7Thread the marinated pork and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
- 8Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is thoroughly cooked and vegetables are tender.
- 9Check the pork's doneness by ensuring it has reached an internal temperature of 145°F.
- 10Let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- 11Serve the skewers on a platter garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
- 12Enjoy a healthy and flavorful Mediterranean meal.
