My Big Fat Greek Souvlaki
By special request:
I bought pork shoulder loin. Not pork tender loin because the butcher said it would be too tender for the skewers. I cut it up into roughly 1 inch cubes & marinated it in the following ingredients:
*extra virgin olive oil (don't be afraid to over-do it on this)
*lemon juice (ditto)
*oregano
*season salt
*(or you can use salt/pepper)
*garlic (I used finely minced)
*onion (chopped up pieces)
(oh yes, we might as well ALL stink!)
I covered it & placed it in the fridge overnite. The smell was INCREDIBLE! The next morning, I skewered it using 12" skewers. I grilled them outside til they were done, but not OVER-DONE because they dry out. This pork was so tender & the marinade just made it that much more tender. The juices were running out of the pork pieces.
I had some pita bread & slathered on the tzatziki & then plopped off the souvlaki off of the skewers. Voila!

Yum Yum. I might have to make this for the Hub! He's usually the cook, but I think I can handle this!
