Whisk the oil, wine, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl; pour the mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork, coat it with the marinade, press out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, or up to 5 days.

When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Remove the pork from the marinade and shake off any excess. Thread the pork onto metal skewers, tucking broken bay leaves between some pieces. Reserve the marinade for basting.

Grill the skewers on the preheated grill for 10 minutes, turning and basting frequently. Discard the marinade. Continue grilling until the pork is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
