Steps

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak 8 of them in water for 30 minutes.
  2. Make the marinade: in a large bowl stir together half the olive oil, the cumin, the coriander, the paprika, two-thirds of the garlic, half the lemon juice, half the salt and the black pepper.
  3. Add the pork to the marinade, toss to coat and let it sit 20 minutes while you cook the bulgur.
  4. Bring the water and a quarter of the salt to a boil in a pot, stir in the bulgur, cover, reduce heat and simmer 12 minutes, then let it stand covered off the heat.
  5. Make the sauce: stir the Greek yogurt, the mint, the remaining garlic and a quarter of the lemon juice together and chill until serving.
  6. Preheat the grill to medium-high, about 425°F (220°C).
  7. Thread the pork, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and red onion alternately onto the skewers.
  8. Toss the broccoli with the remaining olive oil and remaining salt, and place it in a grill basket.
  9. Grill the skewers and the broccoli basket 10 to 14 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the vegetables are charred and the pork reaches 145°F (63°C); rest the skewers 3 minutes.
  10. Fluff the bulgur, fold in the grilled broccoli and the remaining lemon juice.
  11. Serve the skewers over the broccoli bulgur with the yogurt-mint sauce on the side.
