Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for grill
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 tablespoons lime juice (from 2 limes)
1/4 cup orange juice (from 2 oranges), plus 1 orange, cut into 16 pieces
2 pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds total), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 large English cucumber, cut into 1-inch rounds
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a small pot, combine oil, garlic, and red-pepper flakes over medium-low. Cook until garlic is soft, 15 minutes, swirling occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in lime and orange juices, and let cool 15 minutes.
  • In a zip-top bag, toss pork with half the marinade and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or up to 12 hours); refrigerate remaining marinade.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Thread pork, orange, and cucumber onto skewers. Season with salt and pepper. Grill kebabs 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Brush with reserved marinade and serve.
