Kavourmas with Rice

Kavourmas with Rice is a flavorful Greek BBQ dish featuring tender pieces of marinated pork cooked to perfection, served alongside fragrant rice. This hearty meal is perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy family dinner.

Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Red wine vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Rice (long-grain) - 150 grams
• Water - 300 ml
• Lemon - 1, for garnish
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Cut the pork shoulder into 2 cm cubes and place them in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are well coated, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
4. While the pork is marinating, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
5. In a saucepan, bring 300 ml of water to a boil, add the rinsed rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
6. Preheat a grill or BBQ to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork onto skewers.
7. Grill the pork skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
8. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and season lightly with salt.
9. Serve the grilled pork over the rice, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
