Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to form marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb cubed pork shoulder to the marinade and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread marinated pork cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
  4. Step 4: Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until pork is cooked through and slightly charred on edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with your choice of sides.
