Oregano & Lemon Pork Kebabs
Sounds great, can use chicken in place of pork, on my to grill list.
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork loin, lean, trimmed of any fat
- 8-12 wooden skewers
For the Marinade
- 1/2 cup lemon juice, or lime juice
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Choose from 2 or 3 Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
- 1 zucchini, cut into 3/8 inch slices
- grape tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, cut into large chunks
- fresh button mushrooms
Instructions
- Cut the pork loin into 1 inch cubes, place in a zip lock bag.
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add to the zip lock bag with the pork, squish everything around to coat all the meat.
- If your vegetables are prepped, add them to the zip lock as well, they will pick up great flavor.
- Soak the skewers in water while the meat (and maybe vegetables) are marinating.
- Remove the pork (and maybe vegetables) from the marinade and drain, place on skewers alternating between pork cub and a vegetable, pork cube and another vegetable, until all is skewered.
- Place on a medium hot grill over medium heat and grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently until the pork is cooked through.
- Serve with sides of your choice, corn on the cob and coleslaw come to mind.
Notes
Pork loin will cost about 70 Baht/500 grams. For 4 servings, this is about 52 cents per serving.
Variants: Use what ever vegetables you like, it is that easy. In addition to button mushrooms, think Shiitake or even King Oyster mushrooms cut into thick slices.
