Directions
- 1
Cut all meats and sausage into even 3 cm cubes. Make the marinade by mixing olive oil, garlic, dried herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Divide the meats into separate bowls and coat each with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- 3
Wrap each pork loin cube in a slice of smoked bacon to form compact medallions, securing them firmly on the skewer.
- 4
Thread the skewers alternating different meats with onion wedges and yellow bell pepper pieces for color and balance.
- 5
Grill over hot coals or on an electric grill for 15–20 minutes, turning regularly until evenly charred and cooked through.
- 6
Serve hot with grilled bread, green salad, and your favorite dipping sauce.
💡 Chef's Tip
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning. Chicken hearts are a Brazilian classic — don't skip them if you can find them!
