Ingredients
- 2 pounds trimmed pork shoulder
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 small red onion, cut into
- 1 inch chunks
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- Pita bread, for serving, optional
- Tzatziki*, for serving, optional
- 10 wooden skewers
Preparation
- Cut the pork into 1-inch pieces. Season with the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, oregano and pepper. Put 1 piece of pork onto 1 of the skewers. Then add a piece of the onion (about 2 or 3 layers thick), followed by another piece of pork, a tomato, another piece of pork, onion and pork. Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
- Turn on the Cuisinart® Griddler®. Select Smoke-less mode and set both plates to Pork.
- Once preheated, put the kebabs on the Griddler® and set the count-up timer. Cook skewers, rotating until each side is browned, for about 25 to 30 minutes, until fully cooked through. Alternately, skewers may be cooked in the closed position for about 6 to 8 minutes.
- If desired, serve with pita bread and tzatziki.
* Tzatziki is a traditional Greek yogurt-based dipserved with kebabs. It may be bought pre-made or can be made from scratch. Search Cuisinart. com for recipes.
