Ingredients
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 pound Boneless pork chops (1 inch thick), cut into 1/4-inch slices
8 Cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
to taste Kosher salt
to taste Black pepper
Directions
Combine ground coriander, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Season the mixture generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
Pat the pork slices dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pork and toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
Thread the seasoned pork slices onto wooden or metal skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes. Leave a little space between pieces for even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Place the kebabs on the hot grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the exterior is nicely charred.
Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Comments
This recipe hits well on Charlotte availability—pork and cherry tomatoes stock everywhere, and cinnamon, cayenne, coriander, and black pepper are common pantry items at any of the six major chains. The 25-minute stated time is honest for skewering and grilling, though you should budget 10 minutes for mixing the spice rub and another 5 if you soak wooden skewers. Cost per serving runs around $3–$3.50 when pork shoulder or tenderloin is on sale at Harris Teeter or Food Lion, making this a solid weeknight pick. The real strength is the low fuss and quick reheat—these kebabs are easy on a family weeknight, hold well in the fridge for lunch the next day, and grill in one pass with no constant attention.
