DIRECTIONS
Trim and cut pork or lamb into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Cut onion into slices and split into slivers.
In a large bowl, mix together lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
Add pork and onion pieces, stir to coat all pieces.

You can either sauté the meat and onions in a saucepan until onions are translucent and meat cooked through, or you can skewer the meat and onions and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. You can also cook the skewers on a barbeque for 20 minutes.

1 tsp kosher salt, divided
4 to 5 garlic cloves, peeled, finely grated or minced (you can use less if you prefer)
