Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1 lb pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and the 8 oz mozzarella into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, toss pork with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Thread pork, cheese, and fresh oregano leaves onto skewers, alternating pieces. Use 4-5 pieces of pork per skewer, with cheese and herbs between.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat grill to medium-high. Place skewers on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until pork is browned and cooked through and cheese is melted and blistered, about 10-12 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Serve hot, with extra oregano if desired.
