Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 g pork shoulder
- 3 medium onions
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 medium red bell peppers
- 2 medium green bell peppers
- 10 wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
Peel and slice the onions into rings and add them to the bowl with the pork.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pork and onions.
In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and salt.
Pour the marinade over the pork and onions. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the red and green bell peppers into 1.5-inch pieces, similar to the size of the pork cubes.
Thread the marinated pork, onion pieces, and bell peppers onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, rotating them occasionally to ensure even grilling and char marks.
Check for doneness by slicing into the pork; it should no longer be pink in the center and juices should run clear.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
