Introduction

Traditionally prepared with pork I love the sweet aroma from the marinade, especially through the summer months when I can cook on the open fire. Other cuts can be used such as a sliced shoulder or loin. It's a really simple dish to prepare & evokes all those memories of Greek holidays in the sun!

Method

To marinade the skewers, mix the ingredients together, then brush the pork with the marinade, cover & leave for a couple of hours, stirring once after an hour. Set up a BBQ for direct grilling over high heat. Char the skewers on all sides; this will take approximately 5 minutes, then finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
