Marinated Pork Kebabs

According to the weather forecast the weekend is set to be sunny and warm. Ever optimistic here is a recipe which will bring the taste of the Mediterranean if not the weather!
This was how my Dad always made his traditional Greek "souvla" or barbeque.
This recipe uses pork shoulder which is a great cut for making kebabs as it has a little bit of fat running through the meat which ensures it does not dry out on the barbeque.
This recipe was also featured in the Marlborough Town and Country Magazine - July issue

Marinated Pork Kebabs
Serves 4

500g pork shoulder - remove the skin and cut into 2 cm cubes
a wine glass of red wine
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
 salt and pepper

Place the cubed pork into a glass dish and pour over the red wine. Sprinkle with the oregano, salt and pepper. Allow to marinate for about an hour or if you have time overnight in the fridge is even better. Thread onto skewers and cook over a hot barbeque for about 20 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
Serve like the Greeks do in warmed pitta bread with a Greek salad.
