Cut the pork into 1.5-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.

Slice the onions and bell peppers into chunks and add to the bowl with the pork.

Mix vinegar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, and salt in a separate bowl to create a marinade.

Pour the marinade over the meat and vegetables, ensuring everything is coated.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated pork, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms onto the skewers alternately.

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has grill marks.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges.
