Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spice Rub:
- In a small bowl, combine the curry powder, cumin, paprika, ground coriander, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to create a flavorful spice blend. Store the mixture in an airtight container until ready to use.
-
Make the Marinade:
- In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, and orange juice until emulsified. This vibrant marinade will infuse the pork and grapes with irresistible flavors.
-
Thread the Skewers:
- Thread the marinated pork pieces and seedless grapes alternately onto skewers, creating colorful and appetizing kebabs that are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate.
-
Season with Spice Rub:
- Sprinkle the prepared spice rub generously over the skewered pork and grapes, ensuring that each kebab is coated with the aromatic blend of spices. Gently pat the spices onto the surface of the ingredients to help them adhere.
-
Marinate the Kebabs:
- Place the seasoned kebabs in a shallow dish and pour the prepared marinade over them, ensuring that they are thoroughly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least one hour, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify. For optimal results, marinate the kebabs for up to one day, turning them occasionally to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Grill to Perfection:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the marinated kebabs on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the grapes are slightly caramelized, imparting a hint of sweetness to the dish.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the grilled kebabs to a serving platter, and sprinkle them with freshly chopped Italian parsley and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Serve immediately, allowing your guests to savor the irresistible combination of tender pork, juicy grapes, and aromatic spices.
