Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork loin
  • 2 medium red bell peppers
  • 2 medium yellow bell pepper
  • 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

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