Citrus-Marinated Pinchos (Pork Kabobs)
1 tbsp oregano, fresh, packed
2 tsp Kosher salt
6 each cloves garlic
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1 lb pork loin roast, fat removed
Method
1. In a mortar and pestle, smash the oregano into a paste. Add the salt and garlic and continue to crush until everything is well-combined.  Stir in the olive oil, vinegar, pepper and citrus zests. Set the marinade aside.
2. Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes.  Place the pork into a zippered plastic bag, cover the pork pieces with the marinade and let sit in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
3. Heat the grill to medium.  Skewer the pork pieces and grill the kabobs for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally for even grilling. The pork should be barely pink and the internal temperature should reach 145 degrees.
