Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Red onion (cut into chunks)
• 1 large Red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 large Green bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if using wooden)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the cubed pork to the marinade and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375–400°F).

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 5

Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked and slightly charred. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145°F.

Step 7

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the kabobs with a side of tzatziki sauce, warm pita bread, or a crisp Greek salad for a complete meal.
