Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 8 pieces skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped onion, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the pork cubes, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char around the edges.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
