Ingredients
  

Chimichurri sauce:

  • ¼ cup parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 shallot minced, or 1/2 a red onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch crushed red pepper
  • Pinch black pepper

Pork Kabobs:

  • 1- 1½ lb pork cubes I cut mine from 2 large pork steaks, but a pork loin or tenderloin is probably easier
  • 16 small onions or onion chunks
  • 16 small mushrooms or mushroom halves if large
  • 1 bell pepper red or green are both pretty
  • 16 cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
  • 1 -2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • If you are using bamboo skewers soak 8 (or 16 if using 2 skewers per kabob) for an hour before making your kabobs (I soak them in a lasagna pan or 9 x 13 baking pan). Metal skewers don’t need to be pre-treated (but watch your fingers picking them up).
  • Chop then mix chimichurri sauce ingredients. Cover and store in the refrigerator until kabobs are done.
  • Prep your kabob ingredients as needed. If desired, microwave the onions on high for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly, then peel. Cut the pork into approximately 1+ inch cubes. Wash the cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and bell pepper then cut the pepper and mushrooms if large.
  • When skewers have soaked, assemble your kabobs as in the picture—or according to your personal preference.
  • Brush or drizzle the seafood and vegetables on the kabobs with olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano . Generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Grill for about 5 minutes per side, depending on grill temperature and your taste. Test meat with an instant thermometer—the FDA recommends 145 F with a 3 minute rest time.
  • Serve with reserved chimichurri sauce and, optionally, with rice or a crusty bread.
