Method

Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, honey, spices and herbs, seasoning, tomato paste and pepper.  Mix in the pork, stirring well to coat the meat on all sides with the marinade.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Prepare a barbecue or heat a grill to a medium-high heat.

Thread the pork and red onion on to two skewers.  Lightly brush on all sides with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the pork skewers for about 10 minutes, rotating once or twice until fully cooked.

Serve.
