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.
