Method

  1. Rinse the pork1 and cut it into pieces about 4 cm long; slice the onions2 into rings; prepare the vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper; marinate the pork with the onions in vinegar and oil for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Stir the marinade so every piece is coated: add the onions2 in rings, salt and pepper, pour in the vinegar and oil, and mix thoroughly.

  3. Preheat the oven to 220°C, prepare a baking tray with a rack so the meat can cook above a small amount of fat.

  4. Skewer the marinated pork1 pieces and place the skewers on the rack over the tray so the juices run down.

  5. Bake at 220°C until the surface is golden and the meat is cooked through inside, about 25–30 minutes; turn the skewers during baking as needed for even browning.

  6. Check doneness: ensure the internal temperature reaches about 70°C and the meat is juicy with no pink juice.

  7. Serve: remove the skewers and serve the shishkebab with lavash and tomatoes3; add fresh greens if desired.

Tips

Why it works
Cut pork into 4 cm pieces so it cooks evenly and doesn’t dry out. Smaller pieces overcook; larger ones stay raw inside.
Substitutions
Use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar for a milder taste. Skip onions if you have only shallots. Use 80g finely chopped.
Common mistakes
Overcooking turns the meat dry and gray inside; check with a thermometer at 70°C or cut to see pink-free juices.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or within 2 days. Reheat in a pan for 3–4 minutes until warmed through; microwave makes it rubbery.
Serve with
Pair with a simple cucumber-yogurt dip and a cold glass of ayran for a balanced, hearty meal.
