Before we were married, my husband lived in Croatia for a few years and served a mission for our church. He came back to the United States with a love of Mediterranean food and has made a couple of dishes over the years that have been so delicious.
I love that they use a lot of fresh herbs and simple ingredients to give their recipes maximum flavor.
This grilled pork is called “raznjici” in Croatia, which literally translates to shish-kabob.
My husband helped me prep the recipe and I loved that it was all ingredients that I had in my pantry and fridge.
Ingredients needed to for this Mediterranean Pork Kabobs recipe:
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large sweet onion finely chopped
- 3 Tablespoons garlic cloves finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin (cut into 1 inch cubes)
- salt and pepper to taste
How to make Mediterranean Grilled Pork Kabobs:
- I purchased a pork loin at the store and cut it into chunks that were a little bigger than bite-sized (you can really make them whatever size you want, just try to make them all the same size so that they cook evenly).
- I then mixed all the marinade ingredients together in a gallon-sized resealable bag and added in the pork pieces. I recommend that you let it marinade for at least 4 hours, but 8-10 hours gives you even better flavor.
- When the meat is finished marinating, skewer the meat on metal or wooden skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes first to prevent them from burning.
- Drain off the marinade and grill for a couple of minutes on each side or until the pork is cooked all the way through.
- In Croatia, my husband says that they serve these skewers with a simple soup or salad, fresh crusty bread, and possibly some French fries (they love french fries with everything).

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.The inviting smell of perfectly grilled pork kabobs, glistening with juicy goodness is every meat lover’s dream. Add to that french fries or any variation of flat bread and you’ve got yourself a match made in heaven. Raznjici is reminiscent of Greek Souvlaki. They’re pretty much kindred kebabs.
Here are a couple of things to remember when prepping these Mediterranean delights:
- Let the pork marinate for at least 4 hours. Double the time if you want to the meat cubes to really soak in the flavor.
- If you’re using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling the pork kebabs. You can avoid this extra step by opting to go with metal meat skewers instead.
- The conventional way of preparing the kebabs is grilling them over dry heat but they can be cooked in a frying pan just as well. Remember to adjust the knob to medium-high heat.
- Lemon juice and lemon zest are good substitutes for the wine. They pretty much serve to tenderize the pork cubes, much like a wine-based marinade would.
- If you don’t have a zip lock bag within reach you can combine the marinade and the pork cubes in a large mixing bowl that’s sealable and leave them overnight.
