Greek Ouzo Pork Kebabs Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl mix the first 9 ingredients until well blended.
• Add in the pork cubes and place into a large resealable bag; seal and refrigerate for 8-24 hours turning the bag occasionally to coat pork cubes evenly with the marinade.
• Remove the pork cubes from the bag and thread on skewers.
• Season the pork cubes with seasoned salt and black pepper.
• Grill over medium-high heat turning occasionally for about 5 minutes or until the pork is cooked to desired doneness.

Steps:

• To make the marinade; in a bowl, add oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, pressed garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk very well and set aside.
• Remove the silver skin from the tenderloins before slicing and cutting in half - don't halve the tails. Place the pieces in a re-sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over. Close the bag and give it a good massage to coat the meat. Place the bag in a large pie plate and transfer to the fridge for 8 hours.
• After 8 hours, transfer the meat to the pie plate and pour the marinade in a small saucepan; set the heat to medium low.
• Skewer the kebabs by starting with a pepper slice, then meat, then cherry tomatoes, meat, onion slice, meat and back to pepper. If there's more marinade left in the pie plate, add it to the saucepan. Start the barbecue.
• When the temperature reaches between 475ºF to 525ºF, place the kebabs on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 12 minutes, rotating a ¼ turn every 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add ouzo to the saucepan and warm it up for 2 to 3 minutes.
• After 6 minutes of grilling and a couple rotations later, generously baste the kebabs with the marinade. Repeat every 3 minutes until the pork is browned and done. Carefully remove from the barbecue and serve immediately with Greek potatoes and Tzatziki sauce. Makes 4 large kebabs.

Steps:

• Cut pork into 1" cubes and place in a shallow pan.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a screw top jar and shake until well blended.
• Pour marinade over pork.
• Cover and refrigerate several hours, turning occasionally.
• Drain meat; pat dry and tread on skewers.
• Heat remaining marinade to brush on kebabs during cooking.
• Broil slowly 5" from coals for about 25 minutes.
• Turn skewers frequently and brush with marinade during cooking.
• Vegetables may also be served in this way.
• Thread mushrooms, green peppers, onion wedges or apple on skewers and brush with marinade.
• Broil for 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• For the marinade combine all ingredients in a resealable plastic bag or non-reactive bowl.
• Trim the pork of all visible fat and cut into 1 inch cubes. Place cubes in bag and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. (You can also toss the vegetables in if you like. Mushrooms and zucchini are especially good in absorbing the flavor.).
• In the meantime soak wooden skewers in water.
• Wash and cut vegetables for kebabs.
• Thread kebabs alternating between the pork cubes and vegetables. Depending on the size of your pork cubes and the length of the skewers, you will have 1 large or 2 small skewers per person.
• Place on indoor or outdoor grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the pork in a large bowl with the oil, oregano, lemon zest and juice and paprika as well as a good pinch of salt. Toss everything together to combine and leave to marinate for 10 mins.
• Combine the yogurt, garlic and cucumber together in a bowl. Season with salt and set aside.
• Heat the grill to high. Thread the marinated pork and the peppers on four metal skewers, alternating between the pork and peppers as you go. Place on a non-stick baking sheet and grill for 3-4 mins on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
• Serve with the lettuce, yogurt mixture and chilli sauce, and flatbreads, if you like.
