SPICY GRILLED PORK WITH FENNEL, CUMIN AND RED ONION



Spicy Grilled Pork With Fennel, Cumin and Red Onion image

Imbued with spices that char at high heat, this aromatic pork recipe is a snap to throw together - exactly what you want for a night of summer grilling. If you're got wooden skewers, don't forget to soak them in water for an hour before grilling, so they don't flare up. And if you're broiling and you don't want to bother with skewers at all, just spread the pork cubes out on a rimmed sheet pan, turning them halfway through cooking with tongs or a spatula. The pork is excellent served with pita or crusty bread or a rice pilaf, or simple grilled corn on the cob.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     meat, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
1 lime, plus some wedges for serving
1/4 cup cilantro or basil, leaves and tender stems, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 jalapeño or other green chile, seeded if desired
1 teaspoon honey
1 1/2 tablespoons fennel seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 small red onion, sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • Season pork lightly with kosher salt and put it in a bowl or resealable bag.
  • Juice the lime into a blender or food processor and add cilantro, fish sauce, garlic, jalapeño and honey. Blend until the jalapeño and garlic are puréed, then add fennel, cumin, coriander seeds and pulse four or five times to bruise the spices and mix them in.
  • Pour mixture over the pork, tossing to coat the pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you heat the grill, or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, heat the grill or broiler with a rack positioned 4 inches from the heat source.
  • Thread the pork onto skewers, leaving a little space between cubes. Grill over the highest heat possible, or broil on high, for 2 to 5 minutes, then flip the skewers and continue cooking until the meat is browned all over and charred in spots. It should be just cooked through: A little pink is OK, but there shouldn't be any red spots.
  • Serve the pork with cilantro sprigs and onion slices on top, and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pork shoulder or butt roast for this recipe. It will have a lot of flavor and will cook up tender and juicy.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the marinade. You can add different herbs, spices, and liquids to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Make sure to marinate the pork for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.
  • When cooking the pork, be sure to cook it over indirect heat. This will prevent the meat from drying out and will help it cook evenly.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
