Steps:

• Cut the pork up, into cubes.

• Add the meat and leave to marinate for 30 minutes minimum.
• Skewer the meat onto metal or bamboo/wooden skewers, if you use the wooden soak for half an hour in water, keep the marinade.
• Roast them under a grill, in a grill pan or best of all on the barbeque until done, usually about ten minutes or shorter.
• Baste with the remaining marinade during cooking.
