Pork Skewers are a delicious meal and also easy to make in bulk for a bbq. Grown ups and kids alike love them!
Getting started
First prepare the marinade for the meat.
Wash the mint and oregano and drain well. Chop the herbs and keep aside in a small bowl.Dice the pork into big square cubes. Place it in a medium bowl and pour the olive oil all over it.
Add the chopped herbs and season with balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Mix all the ingredients together and make sure the meat is submerged in oil. Let it rest in the fridge for 8-12 hours or overnight.
When the meat is ready, use the grill to preheat the oven to 480℉ / 250℃.
Note: The meat will slightly change its colour after you take it out from the fridge. This is perfectly normal and doesn't mean the meat is off. You can reuse the oil again for the same or similar recipe.Pierce the skewers through each meat cube and place them on a rack and in the oven.
After about 10 minutes, turn each of the skewers on the other side and cook for another 5 minutes.
When the meat is ready, place the skewers on a plate and serve hot!
Annabelle's tips
The pork is great with green beans or a green salad or even with cauliflower rice.
