🛒 Ingredients:
For the Skewers:
- 800g Iberico pork shoulder or collar, cut into 3cm cubes
- ½ cup BBQ sauce (your choice of smoky or sweet)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional, for depth)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Optional Add-ons:
- Bell peppers, onions, or zucchini chunks for skewering
👨🍳 Instructions:
- Marinate: Mix BBQ sauce, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss pork cubes in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best flavor).
- Skewer: Thread pork onto skewers, alternating with vegetables if using.
- Grill Pan: Heat pan over medium-high, cook skewers 3–4 mins per side until caramelized and cooked through (internal temp ~70°C).
- Oven Bake: Preheat oven to 200°C. Place skewers on a lined tray, bake 20–25 mins, turning once, until golden and sticky.
- Serve: Brush with extra BBQ sauce before serving.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
- Pair with roasted potatoes or a crisp slaw
- Serve with garlic bread or flatbreads
- Great with a cold beer or chilled red wine
✨ Pro Tip:
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 mins before cooking to prevent burning. Iberico pork’s natural marbling keeps the skewers juicy—don’t overcook.
