Greek Lemon Oregano Kebabs – Loaded with Antibacterial, Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory compounds
This simple Lemon Oregano Kebabs marinade imparts a delicious flavor to pork or chicken. Fresh oregano is loaded with antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. It is used extensively in Mediterranean cuisine. We are giving it a Greek flare with the addition of heart-healthy garlic and olive oil as well as some antioxidant boosting lemon.
Greek Lemon Oregano Kebabs Ingredients
- 1 – 1.5 pounds boneless pork or chicken
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
- 4-5 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Directions
- Cut the pork or chicken into 1-inch cubes.
