Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 pounds pork shoulder (Cut in cubes or strips. I use pork tenderloin.)
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup oil (olive oil)
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine (or lemon juice)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano (or to taste)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: UPDATE: I have found I love using pork tenderloin instead of pork shoulder, easier to find and cube and extra tender. Soak wooden skewers 30 minutes. Cut meat into small cubes or 1 inch strips

  • Step 2: In glass bowl, whisk together oil, wine and oregano, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Add in prepared pork cubes or strips

  • Step 3: Cover, refrigerate. Best overnight or up to 24 hours

  • Step 4: Thread meat on skewers, cook on greased grill on medium heat turning and basting often with oil mix until done. We often thread in chunks of onion, green pepper and cherry tomatoes - just because!
