Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
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.
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.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
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.
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.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
