Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds pork sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

Combine the olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, turmeric, oregano, salt and pepper in a small skillet over low heat. Cook until warmed through and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add pork to a 1-gallon zippered bag and pour in spice mixture, then add garlic, parsley and lemon juice. Massage thoroughly to coat. Seal and refrigerate overnight. Prepare a hot fire in the grill. Thread the meat onto skewers and season with salt. Grill on all sides until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes total.
