Shashlik, or Grilled Pork Bites

Shashlik is a wonderful addition to your summer barbeque

Author: simply ieva
Ingredients
  • 4.5-5 lbs pork butts preferrably boneless
  • 1 onion medium, diced
  • 2 tbsp smokehouse maple spice
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar medium, diced
Instructions

  1. Cut the pork butts into bite size pieces

  2. Place the pork pieces in a large bowl and add the smoked applewood seasoning, diced onion, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and oil. With your hands, make sure the meat is covered with the above ingredients. 

  3. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. It can marinate from anywhere between 30 minutes and 24 hours.

  4. Preheat the grill to 400 F  

  5. Take out the meat and string it on the skewers. The bites should touch each other.

  6. Place the meat on the skewers on the grill, cover and let it sear on for a couple of minutes to lock in the juices. Then turn the skewer so the other side gets a chance to do the same.

  7. Turn down the heat to low (around 350F) and cook for additional 20-25 minutes. 

Recipe Notes
  1. You can make the seasoning in a separate bowl, mix it well and then pour over the pork. I usually do everything in the same bowl but it is totally up to you.
  2. Try to make sure that the pork bites are approximately the same size because that way they will all cook evenly.
  3. Serve with fresh vegetables or fresh vegetable salad and rice.
