Best 3 Coconut And Lime Pork Kebabs Recipes

PANEER TIKKA KEBABS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Heat the mustard seed oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the besan and stir constantly until golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Place the yogurt, lime juice, tandoori masala, paprika, chili powder, mustard powder, turmeric, garlic, chiles, ginger, fenugreek leaves (if using), reserved besan mixture and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl and mix well. It should have the consistency of hollandaise sauce; if it's too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons water and mix well.
• For the skewers: Gently mix together the paneer and just enough marinade to coat in a medium bowl, being careful not to break the paneer. Add the tomatoes, peppers and onions to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover both bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• When ready to grill, preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Meanwhile, thread the tomatoes, peppers, onions and paneer in an alternating pattern on 12 metal skewers, letting any excess marinade drip off, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates. Lay the skewers on the grates and grill, uncovered, until grill marks form on the bottom of the paneer, about 3 minutes. Flip the skewers, brush with the melted butter and cook just until grill marks form on the other side, about 3 minutes more. (It's important not to overcook the paneer as it can become hard and rubbery.)
• Slide the paneer and vegetables off the skewers onto a platter. Garnish with cilantro and drizzle with some Cilantro-Yogurt Chutney. Serve with the remaining chutney for dipping.
• Combine the cilantro, yogurt, chiles, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and process until smooth. It should be the consistency of a creamy salad dressing. If it's too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Taste and add more lime juice and/or salt, if needed.

COCONUT LIME AND PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Toss the pork with half of the coconut milk, the vegetable oil, garlic, 1/3 cup each brown sugar and cilantro, and 1 tablespoons each fish sauce, lime juice and Sriracha in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1 - 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium and lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil. Thread the pork onto eight 10-inch skewers. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally and brushing with the remaining coconut milk, until marked and cooked through, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 tablespoons water and the remaining 1 tablespoons each brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and Sriracha in a small bowl. Serve the kebabs in romaine lettuce leaves and drizzle with the sauce. Top with chopped peanuts, scallions, cucumber and cilantro.

PORK KEBABS WITH ROMESCO

Steps:

• Combine the cumin, pimenton, crushed red pepper, garlic, lemon zest and juice and salt. Stir to combine and add enough olive oil until it becomes a loose paste. Add the pork and toss to completely coat. Let sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours or refrigerate overnight
• Romesco: This can totally be done ahead and kept in the refrigerator for any grilled meat or fish need!
• Preheat the grill to medium
• Coat a saute pan with olive oil and add the garlic and crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to a medium heat. When the garlic is very aromatic and starting to turn golden, add the tomatoes and piquillo peppers. Season with salt, to taste, and cook until the tomato is very soft and mushy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Grill the bread on both sides until nice and toasted. When cool to the touch, cut it into cubes.
• In a food processor, pulse the almonds and bread cubes until they become a coarse paste. Add the cooked tomato mixture and toss in the saffron, sherry vinegar and parsley. Pulse, pulse, pulse to puree. Taste and season with salt, if needed. It should be really yummy! Add 2 tablespoons olive oil or a couple of tablespoons of water if the mixture is really thick.
• Before grilling, skewer the pork to make kebabs, putting about 4 to 5 pieces of meat on each skewer. Don't jam the meat super close together, it's ok if the meat is touching, but do it loosely so the heat can reach all the sides and cook evenly.
• Brush the grill with a wire grill brush and then rub down with an oiled towel to pick up any pieces of loosened crud.
• Grill the skewers on all sides so each side gets nice and brown (brown food tastes good), about 7 to 8 minutes total. Remove the kebobs from the grill to a serving platter and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the Romesco sauce.
