Ingredients
- 1000 g pork shoulder (boneless)
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 80 ml olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
- 2 lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Step 2
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into 2-inch cubes.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, rosemary sprigs, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to form a marinade.
Step 4
Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 7
Grill the pork skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking and a golden char on all sides. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 9
Serve the pork skewers with lemon wedges on the side and a sprinkle of additional oregano for garnish.
