Ingredients

• 1 lb pork shoulder
• 2 medium red onion
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 8 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the red onions and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Separate the layers to form individual pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Step 7

Assemble the kebabs by threading the marinated pork cubes and red onion pieces alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers.

Step 8

Place the kebabs on the hot grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking. The pork should be nicely charred on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

Step 9

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
