Pork Kabobs

Pork is not one of my favorite foods, but my family loves it.  I can’t explain why that is, it is such a lean meat, which is usually right up my alley.  My dad overdid us on pork roasts while I was growing up, we even make a pork roast for him at Thanksgiving because he will not eat turkey.

This recipe came together pretty quickly and was a pleaser.  My husband and I ate the pork kabobs in pita bread topped with the creamy sauce (his with lettuce, tomatoes and onions) but my son put the plain pork cubes on his plate and ate them with a toothpick.  Either way, delicious!

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 1 garlic clove , minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 lbs boneless pork , cut into 1-inch cubes

CUCUMBER YOGURT SAUCE

• 1 cup plain yogurt
