Grilled Pork Skewers with Oregano, Fennel, and Turmeric

A perfect dish for a cookout—your crew will love it! These grilled pork skewers come out incredibly flavorful, all thanks to the aromatic spice paste the meat marinates in. In this recipe the pork marinates for two hours, but it's even better left overnight—about 8 to 10 hours. The blend of herbs and spices creates a one-of-a-kind harmony of aroma and flavor. You can use store-bought wood chips for the coals or prepare your own; the key is to keep the heat strong and steady, with no flare-ups of open flame.

  • A trip out into nature just isn't complete without kebabs—everyone loves them, young and old alike. For skewers, lean pork is the best choice, ideally a tenderloin without much fat. The better the meat, the tastier the finished dish. The marinade deserves special mention, too: it determines how juicy, aromatic, and spicy the meat turns out. 1. Choose good-quality, fresh pork tenderloin. Trim off any excess fat and silverskin, then rinse the meat under running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut it into cubes about 1¼–1½ inches (3–4 cm). 2. In a separate bowl, combine the seasonings and spices: caraway, coriander, oregano, paprika, turmeric, fennel seeds, allspice, ground black pepper, and cinnamon. Add salt and pour in the lemon juice and olive oil. Mix everything thoroughly into a smooth paste. 3. Put the pork in a deep bowl and pour the aromatic paste over it. Toss so every piece is coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 2 hours—or overnight if you have the time. 4. Thread the pork onto skewers. Grill for a few minutes on each side until the meat is browned. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pieces and the heat of the coals. Serve with fresh vegetables and your favorite sauces. Enjoy!
