INGREDIENTS

  • SOUVLAKI:
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 TBSP red wine vinegar
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
  • 1 TBSP dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • wood skewers
  • 6 pitas or Homemade Pita Bread
  • optional: crumbled feta and/or sliced red onion
  • TZATZIKI SAUCE:
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt
  • 1 large English cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
  • 2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • salt & pepper



DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the cubed pork to the bowl and toss to coat in the oil mixture then cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  3. Mix the Tzatziki sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Remove the pork from the marinade then push the pork cubes onto wooden skewers and discard the remaining marinade.
  5. Heat a grill or flat cast-iron pan over high heat.
  6. Grill the pork skewers until the pork is well browned and cooked through, about 10 to 14 minutes, making sure to turn them every couple minutes so all sides get browned.
  7. Serve the pork skewers with the pitas, tzatziki sauce, and any other toppings such as crumbled feta and/or sliced red onion.
