How to Make Grilled Mediterranean Pork Kabobs

1. Cut the pork into chunks that were a little bigger than bite-sized (you can really make them whatever size you want, just try to make them all the same size so that they cook evenly).
2. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a gallon-sized resealable bag and added in the pork pieces. I recommend that you let it marinade for at least 4 hours, but 8-10 hours gives you even better flavor.
3. When the meat is finished marinating, skewer the meat on metal or wooden skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes first to prevent them from burning.
4. Drain off the marinade and grill for a couple of minutes on each side or until the pork is cooked all the way through.

Recipe Notes

• Let the pork marinate for at least 4 hours. Double the time if you want to the meat cubes to really soak in the flavor.
• If you’re using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling the pork kebabs. You can avoid this extra step by opting to go with metal meat skewers instead.
• The conventional way of preparing the kebabs is grilling them over dry heat but they can be cooked in a frying pan just as well. Remember to adjust the knob to medium-high heat.
• Lemon juice and lemon zest are good substitutes for the wine. They pretty much serve to tenderize the pork cubes, much like a wine-based marinade would.
• If you don’t have a zip lock bag within reach you can combine the marinade and the pork cubes in a large mixing bowl that’s sealable and leave them overnight.
