Introduction

Pork Souvlaki is a cornerstone of Greek street food—succulent pork cubes marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano, then grilled to perfection. Served with warm pita, tzatziki, and salad, it's a satisfying and flavourful meal that’s easy to prepare.

Instructions

1. Marinate the pork:

• • Combine olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add pork cubes and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 2–4 hours (or overnight).

2. Thread the skewers:

• • Remove pork from marinade and thread onto skewers.

3. Grill:

• • Heat grill or BBQ to medium-high. Grill skewers for around 20 minutes, turning to brown all sides evenly.

4. Serve:

• • Serve hot with pita bread, tzatziki, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Tips

• Pork shoulder is ideal due to its marbling, it stays juicy on the grill.
• For a lighter version, use pork loin (but take care not to overcook).
• Add onion or bell pepper pieces for more flavour and colour.
• Serve with lemon wedges and a simple Greek salad for a complete meal.
