Method
- 1
Put the pork in a bowl with the grated onion, pomegranate juice, vinegar, oil, coriander, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands.
- 2
Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavour.
120 min - 3
Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes, or use metal ones. Thread on the pork, shaking off the excess onion.
- 4
Heat a barbecue or the oven grill to high. Cook the skewers for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until charred in places and cooked through with no pink.
14 min - 5
Rest for 5 minutes. Serve on the sliced raw onion with the pomegranate seeds and lemon wedges, and flatbread or rice on the side.
