Grilled Jerk Pork Chop Skewers

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 boneless New York (center cut) pork chops, cut into cubes​
  • 6 wooden skewers soaked in water
  • 6 tbsp. of your favorite jerk seasoning ​
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil ​
  • 1 tbsp. kosher salt (optional
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp. brown sugar​
  • ½ tbsp. ground allspice​
  • ½ tsp. cayenne pepper ​
  • ½ tsp. ground ginger​
  • 1 tbsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp. dried parsley
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch cubes

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, mix jerk seasoning, olive oil, kosher salt, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground allspice, cayenne, ginger, thyme, and parsley to make the marinade. Pour the marinade over the cubed pork and toss to coat. Let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for one hour, or overnight for the best flavor. ​
  2. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and red onion. Use two pork cubes between each vegetable for balance and flavor. ​
  3. Heat your charcoal or wood grill to a temperature between 375-450 degrees F. Let the grill reach this temperature before placing skewers on.​
  4. Place your skewers directly on the grill. Cook skewers 4-5 minutes per side until the pork reaches an internal temperature between 145-160 degrees F. Rotate skewers occasionally to get an even char. Allow a 3-minute rest.
  5. Remove skewers from the grill and allow for a 3-minute rest. If desired, drizzle with your favorite barbecue sauce for added flavor. Serve alongside cabbage with rice and peas.​
