Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Peel the red onions and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Separate the layers to form individual pieces.
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.
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.
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 (about 375°F to 400°F).
Assemble the kebabs by threading the marinated pork cubes and red onion pieces alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers.
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.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
