Pork Souvlakia
Lean pork cubes, 1" x 1/2"ea Salt, pepper, lemon, oregano
Lemon juice Fresh tomato wedges
Olive oil Onion slices
Garlic; crushed Tzatziki recipe
Dry white wine Fresh pita or french bread
Cane skewers
Method 1: Quick and easy.
Thread the pork lengthwise on 8" round or flat cane (bamboo) skewers.
Grill over hot coals or griddle until thoroughly cooked, then
sprinkle with salt and pepper and dip quickly into lemon juice.
Crush oregano over the meat.
Method 2: Takes longer, tastes better!
Our family makes up a marinade of lemon juice and good quality olive oil,
oregano and/or thyme, pepper, crushed garlic & maybe a little dry
white wine. Marinate the pork overnight, then grill til just cooked,
not dry. Eat as is, straight from the skewers, or remove meat and
serve in pita bread pockets, with tomato wedges, onion slices, and
Tzatziki, passing salt and additional freshly ground black pepper.
