Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Pork shoulder, cubed
  • 1 large Onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 2 pounds of Pork shoulder, cubed, the 1 large Onion, sliced, the 1/4 cup Vinegar, the 2 tablespoons Olive oil, the 2 teaspoons Paprika, the 1 teaspoon Cumin, the 1 teaspoon Coriander, the 1 teaspoon Salt, and the 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper.
  2. 2Mix everything together thoroughly to ensure the pork and onion are well-coated with the marinade ingredients.
  3. 3Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
  4. 4Thread the marinated pork and onion pieces onto skewers, distributing them evenly.
  5. 5Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of approximately 400-450°F (200-230°C).
  6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 20-25 minutes. Turn the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking and charring on all sides. The pork is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and has a slightly charred exterior.
  7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender pork.
