Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Step 2
Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes, trimming away any excess fat.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the pork cubes in the marinade, stirring to ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Skewer the pork cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Step 7
Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
Step 8
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with pita bread, sliced veggies, and tzatziki sauce on the side.
