The pork in this recipe is marinated in a sweet and spicy cocoa rub for a few hours or overnight, then threaded onto skewers with red onions and a mix of summer squash. Cooking with skewers can be frustrating because the food often starts spinning around when you try to turn the skewers over instead of staying in place to help with even cooking. Consider investing in flat metal skewers. The flat edges will hold the food in place as you turn them over on the grill.
