Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut pork into 1.5-inch cubes, removing any silverskin or excess fat.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk garlic, paprika, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Add pork to the marinade and toss until coated. Cover and chill 30 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Thread pork pieces onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, about 4 pieces per skewer.

  5. Step 5

    Heat grill to medium-high. Oil the grates well to prevent sticking.

  6. Step 6

    Grill skewers 3–4 minutes per side without moving, until charred and cooked through.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer skewers to a plate and rest 5 minutes. Serve with yogurt on the side.
