Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl (or ziploc bag), combine chopped pork, 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper and stir until well combined. Separate onion pieces and add them to the bowl. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
- Thread the kabobs onto metal skewers*, alternating between meat and onion. For even browning, the meat and onions should be just touching on the skewers and not crowded together. Let your skewers stay at room temperature for 30 minutes before placing on the grill.
- Preheat your grill to Medium/high heat (400˚F). Add skewers in a single layer and grill for 8-10 minutes total. Meat skewers turn like a triangle so we cook about 3 minutes per side on all 3 sides. Grill until cooked through and meat reaches at least 145˚F internal temperature. Rest skewers 3 minutes before serving.

LEMON-GARLIC PORK KEBABS
When I was a kid our butcher sometimes had a thing called "City Chicken", which was pork cubes threaded on bamboo skewers to be breaded and fried like fried chicken. I haven't seen that in years. But butcher-pack, boneless, pork loin is always cheap at Sam's Club so here's how I adapted a modern, lighter, healthier favorite for chicken to use on "the other white meat."

Tips:
- Select high-quality pork: Choose pork loin or tenderloin for tender and juicy kebabs.
- Marinate the pork: The marinade infuses flavor and helps tenderize the pork. Prepare the marinade at least 30 minutes before cooking, or up to overnight.
- Use wooden skewers: Wooden skewers are less likely to burn than metal skewers. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Skewer the pork evenly: Make sure the pork pieces are evenly distributed on the skewers. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the kebabs over medium heat: Medium heat will help prevent the pork from drying out. Cook the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
- Baste the kebabs with the marinade: Basting the kebabs with the marinade while they are cooking will help keep them moist and flavorful.
- Let the kebabs rest: Allow the kebabs to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
