Gluten-FreeHigh Protein

A 560-calorie Dinner recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 300g lean pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 150g halloumi cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Pinch of black pepper
• Wooden skewers (soaked in water if grilling)

Instructions

1. Prep: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of black pepper to create the glaze. In another bowl, toss the pork cubes with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and oregano.
2. Thread alternating pieces of pork and halloumi onto the soaked skewers.
3. Brush the skewers lightly with the remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
4. Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the halloumi is golden and crispy.
5. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the skewers generously with the balsamic glaze, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a minute before serving.
