Greek Pork Souvlaki
Easy
Plan ahead the pork needs to marinade for a minimum of 8-24 hours, if you are using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the meat on and grilling. I also like to thread on large cherry tomatoes, red onion and red pepers

Greek Pork Souvlaki Directions
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper to in small mixing bowl or measuring cup; whisk until well incorporated.
- Place the pieces of pork in a bowl and pour that marinade over them. Toss to coat really well, cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.*
Place 6 wooden skewers to soak in cold water for about 30 minutes before you start building your souvlakis. - When ready to eat, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the pieces of pork onto the pre-soaked bamboo sticks; discard unused marinade.
- Grill the kebabs, turning them every 2-3 minutes, until the meat is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes total.
- Serve immediately, preferably with tzatziki sauce.
Notes
*If marinating that meat overnight was not an option, try and give it as much time as you possibly can, ideally at least 4 hours...
