Pork and Apple Kabobs

Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless pork loin cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1 large orange juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 large red onion cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 large green apples cored and cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • bamboo skewers or metal

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate pork cubes for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours (see recipe). If using bamboo skewers, presoak them in water for 30 minutes, to prevent burning on the grill.
  • Place pork cubes in a large zipper-topped plastic bag. In a small bowl, combine next 6 items (orange juice through black pepper); pour mixture over pork; seal bag and toss to coat well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
  • At time of cooking, preheat grill o MEDIUM-HIGH. In a small bowl, toss onion, apple, melted coconut oil, honey and additional salt and pepper to taste. Alternately thread skewers with pork cubes, onion and apple; grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until pork is cooked through and onion and apple are slightly charred.
