Arrosticini Di Maiale: Molisan Pork Skewers
Arrosticini di Maiale, also known as Molisan Pork Skewers, are a traditional dish from the Abruzzo and Molise regions of Italy. These delicious skewers are made with tender pieces of pork, seasoned with simple yet flavorful ingredients, and grilled to perfection. They are a popular street food in the region and are perfect for a casual gathering or a summer barbecue.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a bowl, combine the pork cubes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the pork evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, about 4-5 pieces per skewer.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
