Souvlaki Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Marinate the Pork

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork tenderloin and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and thread onto skewers. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).

3. 3

   Prepare the Tzatziki

   While the pork is grilling, prepare tzatziki sauce (optional). Combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 grated cucumber (squeezed to remove excess moisture), 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, and salt to taste.

4. 4

   Assemble the Souvlaki

   Once the pork is cooked, remove from skewers. Serve the pork on warm pita bread topped with diced tomatoes, sliced onions, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
