Souvlaki
Ingredients
- •Pork or chicken
- •Olive oil
- •Lemon juice
- •Oregano
- •Garlic
- •Pita bread
- •Tomato
- •Tzatziki
Steps
- 1Cut pork or chicken into even cubes and place them in a bowl.
- 2Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano, then pour the marinade over the meat and toss to coat.
- 3Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- 4Thread the marinated meat onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece so it cooks evenly.
- 5Grill the skewers over hot coals or a hot grill pan, turning every couple of minutes, until charred on the outside and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes total.
- 6Warm pita bread briefly on the grill until lightly charred and pliable.
- 7Serve the skewers on their own with a wedge of lemon, or slide the meat off directly into the warm pita.
- 8Top with sliced tomato, onion, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki before serving.
