Equipment
Ingredients
FOR THE BARBECUE SAUCE
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite)
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste or minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE SKEWERS
- 2 pounds boneless pork chops cut into 1½-inch pieces
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 small green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small orange bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ tablespoon adobo seasoning blend or to taste
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Make the BBQ sauce. Combine the barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and whisk until thoroughly incorporated.
- Season the pork, fruit, and veggies. Combine the cut up pork, pineapples, peppers, and onions in a mixing bowl; season with adobo seasoning, salt, and pepper, and toss to combine.
- Prepare the pork kabobs. Thread the pork onto skewers, alternating with onions, pineapples, and peppers. Reserve 1/2 cup of the prepared barbecue sauce for serving; brush the skewers with the remaining barbecue sauce.
- Cook. Grill the pork skewers for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the pork is thoroughly cooked and the vegetables are tender and charred. Por is done when its internal temperature registers at 145˚F.
- Finish and serve. Transfer the pork kabobs to a platter and brush them lightly with some of the reserved barbecue sauce. Serve them with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.
