Oregano & Lemon Pork Kebabs

Recipe #134856 | 50 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This recipe comes from New Zealand celebrity chef Mike King courtesy of the NZ Pork Industry Board. The marinade is simple to prepare and imparts a wonderful smell and aroma to the pork. As written, this recipe includes my favorite vegetables for kebabs but you should feel free to use your own. Cooking time includes marinading the pork.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Marinade

Choose 2 or 3 from a selection of vegetables

Directions

  1. 1
    For the marinade combine all ingredients in a resealable plastic bag or non-reactive bowl.
  2. 2
    Trim the pork of all visible fat and cut into 1 inch cubes. Place cubes in bag and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. (You can also toss the vegetables in if you like. Mushrooms and zucchini are especially good in absorbing the flavor.).
  3. 3
    In the meantime soak wooden skewers in water.
  4. 4
    Wash and cut vegetables for kebabs.
  5. 5
    Thread kebabs alternating between the pork cubes and vegetables. Depending on the size of your pork cubes and the length of the skewers, you will have 1 large or 2 small skewers per person.
  6. 6
    Place on indoor or outdoor grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

    Awesome. Paired it with Maharaja rice for a very easy weeknight dinner. Thank you justcallmetoni!

    Yes, yes, yes — toss the vegetables in with the marinade and pork. Toni, this is a great recipe. Easy, delicious and versatile. I made it as written, and can imagine other good veggie add-ons. Wouldn't change the marinade one bit. Definitely a keeper. Made and reviewed for an Aussie leg of Zaar World Tour.

    I used metal skewers. I made double the marinade and, as suggested, marinated the veggies with the pork. The pork came out very tender, even with the short marinating time, and the vegetables absorbed the flavor well. I served over rice, heating the extra marinade in the microwave to pour over the top. This one's a winner!
