Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork shoulder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 red onion
- 8 skewers
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the pork and mix thoroughly to ensure even coating. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for enhanced flavors.
While the pork is marinating, cut the bell peppers and red onion into similarly sized chunks as the pork.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes, bell peppers, and red onions onto the skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the grill and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, like salad or pita bread.
