Pork Souvlaki Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
• STEP 2.Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat the pork evenly. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
• STEP 3.Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork onto skewers.
• STEP 4.Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred.
• STEP 5.Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the pork souvlaki with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a side of Greek salad.

Cooking Tips

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading the pork to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skewers along with the pork.
• Serve the souvlaki with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a burst of citrusy flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pork souvlaki can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, you can either grill the skewers for a few minutes or heat them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
• Serve the reheated souvlaki with fresh pita bread and tzatziki sauce.
