Souvlaki with Pitta and Tzatziki (Marinated Pork Skewers)

Souvlaki

• 1 large Lemon
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 700 g Pork shoulder

Tzatziki and serving

• 1 large Cucumber
• 300 g Greek yogurt
• 10 g Fresh dill
• 4 pieces Pita bread

1. Finely grate the lemon zest into a bowl, then squeeze in the juice. Crush the garlic and add it with the dried oregano, red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
2. Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized cubes and toss thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes while you make the tzatziki.
3. Coarsely grate the cucumber, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Stir it into the Greek yogurt with the fresh dill.
4. Thread the pork onto skewers. Heat the grill to medium-high and cook the skewers for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every couple of minutes, until lightly charred and cooked through.
5. Warm the pita bread on the grill for 30 to 60 seconds per side, just until soft and lightly toasted. Serve the souvlaki with warm pitta and the tzatziki.
