Pork Souvlaki

Tzatziki Sauce

Pita Bread

Side Dish

Method

Pork Souvlaki

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Stir to coat the pork evenly and let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. After soaking, thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers.

  4. 4

    Grill the Souvlaki

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel.

  2. 6

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

  3. 7

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the tzatziki sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Pita Bread

  1. 8

    Warm the Pita

    Heat the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until warm and slightly toasted.

Side Dish

  1. 9

    Prepare the Side Dish

    Choose either Greek fries or rice pilaf to serve alongside the souvlaki. Prepare according to package instructions or your preferred recipe.
