Tropical Coconut-Lime Pork Kebabs

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pork tenderloin is a lean and tender cut of meat that's perfect for grilling. It's also a good source of protein, thiamin, and vitamin B6, which support energy metabolism and nervous system function.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

 

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ginger, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the cubed pork tenderloin to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion.
  5. Grill the pork kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
  6. Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish the tropical coconut-lime pork kebabs with fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Five Ways to Use Cottage Cheese That Are Actually Worth the Hype

Cottage cheese earns its viral moment nutritionally — a single cup delivers around 25 grams of protein, which rivals chicken breast ounce for ounce. It’s also high in casein protein, which digests slowly and keeps you full significantly longer than whey-based sources. Look for full-fat or 2% versions rather than fat-free — the fat helps with satiety and carries the flavor in a way the fat-free version simply doesn’t. If sodium is a concern, give it a quick rinse in a fine mesh strainer, which removes a meaningful amount without affecting texture.

Why Heat Changes Everything: The Science of a Summer Kitchen

High ambient temperatures in the kitchen can significantly affect the nutrient retention of cooking oils — oils that are heated past their smoke point undergo oxidation that produces harmful compounds including aldehydes and acrolein, which have been associated with inflammatory effects in research. Using oils with higher smoke points for high-heat August cooking — avocado oil, refined coconut oil, clarified butter — reduces the formation of these compounds compared to using delicate oils like extra virgin olive oil at temperatures that exceed their smoke point. Reserving extra virgin olive oil for finishing and dressing rather than high-heat cooking is both a culinary and a nutritional best practice, and particularly relevant in the August kitchen where oils reach higher temperatures more quickly.
