Pork is not necessarily my favourite meat as I would usually opt for chicken. But with the rising costs of chicken I have actually recently found cuts of pork to be much cheaper. With BBQ season in full swing I am looking for delicious options to throw on the barbie with minimal effort. The kiddos absolutely loved these tonight so I think they will be a new favourite here.

Batch Cook – Storage Information
Fridge: You can marinate the pork and leave this in the fridge for up to 3 days (subject to the best before date of course). This is perfect if you have a BBQ this coming weekend or you intend to have a few over a weekend. You can just get the pork out as needed and in fact the longer you leave it to marinade the better it tastes! Once the pork kebabs are cooked I wouldn’t recommend keeping them. They are best eaten fresh.. pork tends to go tough very quickly.
Reheat: No reheating recommended, eat fresh.
Freezer: Marinated uncooked pork can be frozen. Store in a suitable container and allow to defrost before cooking as normal. Defrost 4 – 6 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge. It is not recommend to freeze the cooked version of this recipe.
Not fancy no, but I would highly recommend getting yourself some Metal skewers if you plan to cook these on the BBQ. Wooden sticks tend to catch fire and then you are left with nothing to eat the kebab with.
There metal skewers are a bargain from Amazon and would say you a fair bit of hassle… they can also be reused unlike wooden ones.
