German Style Grilled Pork Kebab

bur0203's Note:

Pork kebabs are popular in Germany for grilling. This is an easy recipe that works out great as snacks or the main dish. The trick is to slice the pork thin and skewer it right to get the pork crisp on the outside. Can be made with either Pork belly or Pork shoulder. Pork shoulder makes it a very cheap dish.
