BARBECUED PORK SKEWERS
When you're in the mood for barbecued pork you basically have 2 options: ribs or a slowly smoked pork shoulder made into pulled pork. But what if you want something different? In that case, these barbecued pork skewers come highly recommended. And no, we're not just sticking chunks of pork on a stick, this is way more advanced and way more delicious. Garnish with thinly sliced green onion and drizzle with extra barbecue sauce if you like.

Steps:
- Slice the pork shoulder in half lengthwise. Cut each piece across into thin, 1/8-inch slices.
- Transfer pork to a mixing bowl and add garlic, onion, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and cayenne. Mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and transfer into a refrigerator for 4 hours, or up to overnight.
- Preheat an charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Weave pork slices on metal skewers, folding the longer pieces in half as you go. Slices should be pressed snugly together as you build the skewer.
- Grill skewers over the hot charcoal until browned and no longer pink, turning frequently, about 30 minutes. Brush on barbecue sauce and turn skewers several times so the sauce caramelizes, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Soak wooden skewers 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat ~ ignite ~ light -- fire up your GRILL!
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine all BBQ sauce ingredients. Cook over medium heat until it starts bubbling, then reduce to simmer. It will thicken into a barbecue sauce consistency - then you can turn off the heat.
- Put pork and onion in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to season; stir until all is coated.
- Assemble skewers: alternating pineapple, red onion then grilled pork. Each skewer will have approximately two large pieces of each.
- Grill all until done, turning (carefully) several times to make sure everything gets browned. Before removing from the grill, cut open one of the larger pieces of pork to make sure there's no pink remaining inside.
- Drizzle with sauce and serve!
