How to make kabobs
- Begin preparing your kabobs by cutting them into large pieces and combine them with the wine, garlic, onion, spices, and mayo.
- You’ll want to let them marinate overnight so they can absorb as much flavor from the red wine meat marinade.
- Then, prepare your vegetables as directed in the printable recipe below and skewer them into the wooden skewers with the pork kabobs. Now place them on a hot grill and grill as directed in the full recipe.

How to grill kabobs
- You want to grill the pork over direct heat on medium-high (about 400-450 degrees F)
- The best way to know when pork is fully cooked is when the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can do this using a meat thermometer.
