Grilled pork kebabs

Meat - Grilled pork kebabs by Petronela F. - Recipia

Grilled pork kebabs marinate in beer overnight before they hit the grill. The meat browns among the pieces of onion, pepper and tomato, while the vegetable rounds soften a little without disappearing among the slices of meat and cubes of homemade ham. I choose pork leg cut into pieces as even as possible, so they cook at the same pace. Preparation: 30 minutes. Cooking: 15 minutes. Rest: 8 hours. Total time: 8 hours and 45 minutes. Serves: 6. Approximately 560 kcal and 39 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg pork leg
  • 1 head of garlic (50 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon hot paprika
  • 60 ml olive oil
  • 250 ml beer
  • 3 large onions (600 g)
  • 4 bell peppers (600 g)
  • 5-6 tomatoes (700 g)
  • 16 cubes homemade ham (240 g)

Preparation

1. Cut the pork leg into even pieces suitable for skewers. Chop the garlic. 2. Put the meat in a bag with the garlic, pepper, thyme, salt, hot paprika, olive oil and beer. Seal the bag and mix well, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours, until the next day. 3. Cut the onion and peppers into pieces, and the tomatoes into rounds. 4. Thread a cube of ham, meat, onion, meat, tomato, pepper and meat onto each of 8 skewers, then finish each one with another cube of ham. 5. Put the skewers on a very hot grill and cook for 15 minutes, turning them often, until the meat is browned and cooked through.

Notes

The beer goes into the marinade uncooked; for an alcohol-free version, replace the 250 ml with 250 ml of non-alcoholic beer. Regular beer may contain gluten. Choose pork leg with a little fat between the muscle fibers, and firm tomatoes, since very soft ones can break as you thread them. Serve the skewers with green salad. Leftovers keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use chicken leg instead of pork?

Yes, choose boneless thighs and cook the meat until it reaches 74°C in the center.

Why does the ham burn before the meat is done?

If it browns too quickly, move the skewers farther from the coals and turn them every 2-3 minutes.

How large should the pieces of meat be?

Cut them into cubes about 3 cm across so they cook well on all sides.
