Instructions

  • In a large glass bowl make the marinade. Combine the cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, oregano, pepper, salt, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  • Add the cubed pork to the marinade and coat completely. Cover and refeidgerate for up to 24 hours.
  • Remove from fridge 30 minutes to one hour before cooking.
  • Preheat a large cast iron skillet on the stove top over high heat. Any skillet will work. Drizzle in a little olive oil. Add kebabs to pan, as many as you can fit without over crowding the pan. Cook each side for 6 - 7 minutes. Flip and cook other side. Repeat for all kebabs.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

Notes

This recipe is adapted from a recipe found in a local newspaper.  Source unknown as it was years ago.
For best results, marinade these up to 24 hours.  If you don't have that time, you can marinade up to 8 hours before cooking.  I don't recommend a quick marinade time as they will be lacking in flavour and won't be as tender
