Preparation
Step 1
Choose a meaty part of the pork without bones, such as shoulder or ham. Use a medium-sized lemon and a similar-sized onion.
Step 2
Peel the onion and rinse it in cold water. Wash the lemon under running water using a brush. One lemon is enough—more might make the meat too sour.
Step 3
Cut the pork into evenly sized chunks suitable for skewering. Not too large (they won’t cook through), not too small (they’ll dry out).
Step 4
Slice the peeled onion into thin half-rings. To reduce tears, chill the onion and knife in cold water before slicing. Then mash the onion with your hands to release the juice.
Step 5
Place the chopped pork into a plastic, glass, or ceramic bowl. Add the mashed onion. Squeeze lemon juice directly over the meat. Add spices to taste—either a BBQ mix or just ground black or red pepper.
Step 6
Mix everything well. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Let marinate for several hours. If possible, marinate overnight in the fridge. If short on time, leave at room temperature for 3–5 hours. Mix a few times during marinating. Add salt an hour before cooking.
Step 7
Skewer the marinated meat tightly onto skewers and grill over hot coals, rotating to cook evenly on all sides.
Step 8
Keep turning the skewers to avoid burning. Serve hot with fresh vegetables, salad, or your favorite sauce. Enjoy your meal!
