ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

1 1/2 pound pork loin, trimmed of silver skin and excess fat, cut into 1-inch cubes
round pita breads

Marinade

1/2 cup olive oil
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Greek oregano
salt and pepper

Tzatziki

2 cups Greek yogurt
1 English cucumber, peeled and grated
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

directions

NOTE: You'll need wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes before use.

Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Place pork cubes in a zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and toss to coat pork evenly with the marinade, then open the bag and reseal, removing as much air as possible. Place the pork in the refrigerator for at least two hours to overnight.

Mix all the tzatziki ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight.

Light one grill full of charcoal. While the charcoal is lighting, thread the pork cubes onto the skewers.

When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, spread coals out evenly. Grill the pork skewers until they browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8 to 12 minutes, turning 4 times during cooking. Remove the skewers to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

While the pork rests, grill the pita until lightly browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove the pita from the grill and quarter.

To serve, place pita slices on a plate, lay the souvlaki on top and place a dollop of tzatziki on the side.
