  3. Cut the pork belly and the pork meat into inch sized cubes.
  4. Assemble the skewers. Start with a pork piece, followed by a pork belly piece, bell pepper and onion. Repeat until the skewer is full. Finish the skewer with a pork meat piece. Make sure to press everything close together and leave about 1/2 -inch room at the top and bottom of the skewer to make handling easier.
  5. Add oil to a large pan and sear the meat skewers on all sides. They don´t need to be cooked, you just want to brown them.
