Serves 4 peopleCategories: Pork main dish
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary, divided
- 1 lb. boneless pork loin, cut into 1 1/2 cubes
- 3/4 cup bottled barbecue sauce
- 8 (10-inch) metal skewers
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 2 large peaches, unpeeled and cut into 8 wedges each
- 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
Directions
- Preheat grill to 350 to 400 degrees (medium-high) heat. Whisk together first 3 ingredients, 22 Tbsp. olive oil, and 1 tsp. rosemary; reserve 1/4 cup. Pour remaining mixture into a large shallow dish or zip-top plastic freezer bag; add pork, turning to coat. Cover or seal, and let stand 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook barbecue sauce and reserved 1/4 cup mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from heat.
- Remove pork from marinade, discarding marinade. Thread pork onto skewers, leaving 1/8 inch space between pieces. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.
- Thread peaches and bell peppers alternately onto other skewers, leaving a 1/8-inch space between pieces. Drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil, and sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. rosemary.
- Grill pork and fruit-and-vegetable kabobs at the same time, covered with grill lid. Grill pork, turning occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until done, brushing pork with barbecue mixture during last 5 minutes of grilling. Grill fruit-and-vegetable kabobs 4 minutes on each side or until bell peppers are crisp-tender.
