How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a large bowl, combine the oregano, grated onions, olive oil, pomegranate syrup, salt and a few grindings of black pepper.
|
2. Add the pork, stir thoroughly, and marinate at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours, turning the pork about in the marinade every hour or so to keep it well moistened.
|
3. Light a layer of coals in a charcoal broiler and burn until a white ash appears on the surface, or preheat your kitchen broiler to its highest point.
|
4. Remove the pork from its marinade and string the cubes tightly on 4 skewers, pressing them firmly together.
|
5. Broil 4 inches from the source of the heat for 15or 20 minutes, turning the skewers frequently so that the pork browns well on all sides.
|
6. Slide the pork off the skewers onto individual heated plates and garnish each serving with the tomatoes and scallions.
|
7. Serve the bowl of pomegranate syrup separately.
