Pork Souvlaki with Pita

Method

1. 1

   Toss the pork with the oil, lemon juice, oregano, 2 crushed garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Marinate at least 1 hour.

   💡 Even 20 minutes helps, but an overnight marinade transforms the meat.

2. 2

   Stir the grated cucumber, minced garlic and a pinch of salt into the yogurt to make a quick tzatziki; chill it.

3. 3

   Thread the pork snugly onto skewers, leaving no gaps.

   💡 Tightly packed cubes stay juicy; spaced-out ones dry at the edges.

4. 4

   Grill over high heat, turning every 2–3 minutes, until charred outside and just cooked through, 10–12 minutes.

5. 5

   Warm the pitas on the grill for the last minute.

6. 6

   Slide the pork off the skewers into the pitas, add tomato, onion and a big spoonful of tzatziki, and wrap tightly in paper.
