Ingredients:
- 🌶️ 4 guajillo peppers, seedless
- 🧅 1/2 onion
- 🧄 6-8 garlic cloves
- 🍅 3 Roma tomatoes
- 🌿 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
- 🥩 1 lb pork rib meat, large cubes
- 🫑 1 bell pepper, large cubes
- 🧅 1/2 onion, large cubes
- 🥒 2 white zucchinis, thick slices
- 🧂 Salt
- ⚫ Black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- Add guajillo peppers, 1/2 onion, garlic cloves, and Roma tomatoes to a pot.
- Cover with water and cook for 15 minutes or until all ingredients are tender.
- Blend the mixture well and set it aside to cool.
- Marinate the Pork:
- Cut the pork rib meat into large cubes about an inch thick.
- Place the pork in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper.
- Pour in the cooled marinade and mix until the meat is well-coated.
- Allow to marinate for at least an hour—the longer, the better for more flavor.
- Prepare the Skewers:
- Cut the bell pepper and the remaining onion into large cubes, similar in size to the pork.
- Slice the zucchinis into thick slices, around two centimeters thick.
- Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Assemble the Skewers:
- Thread the ingredients onto the skewers in the following order: a piece of onion, pork, bell pepper, zucchini. Repeat the sequence twice more.
- Grill the Skewers:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145-150°F.
- Avoid overcooking to keep the pork juicy and tender.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure the skewers are evenly balanced with each ingredient for even cooking.
- Letting the marinade sit longer with the pork will yield a deeper flavor.
