Preparation

Marinating the Pork

Combine Marinade

Add Pork to Marinade

Place the pork pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over.

Refrigerate

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Do not over-marinate; the vinegar can toughen the meat if left too long.

Pro Tip

Add a touch of lime juice to cut through the richness of the pork.

Season Vegetables

Brush the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Set Aside

Set them aside while the grill heats.

Cooking Process

Grill Pork

Remove the pork from the marinade and grill for 10-12 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred.

Grill Vegetables

Grill the prepared vegetables for 2-3 minutes on each side until tender and lightly charred.
