Pork Souvlaki (3 ways)

 

Jamie Oliver calls this ‘wicked kebabs’.  I call it heaven. Lemony, zingy, flavorful Pork Souvlaki is crazy good.  I make it with this secret weapon:

I am not sure if you can find this in your local grocery store, but if so you must buy it!!!  Basile’s Greek Style Pork Souvlaki Seasoning.

Marinating tender pork with this tangy, lemony greek flavoring is beyond delicious. I dream about it in my sleep. Then once you have the pork cubes ready, the uses of them are endless.

If you can find it, making pork souvlaki is as easy as marinating 2 lbs. of pork tenderloin with:

4 T. of Souvlaki seasoning
juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup of olive oil

If you can’t find it, follow this recipe I got from allrecipes.com:

• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 2 medium yellow onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 green bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
• skewers

 

Marinate for 2-3 hours, then cook the meat on the stovetop:

Then the uses for the meat are so yummy and easy!!

I also call them Greek Tacos because setting out the fixings is just like tacos. This is one of the best 10 min meals I know of, since it just involves opening these containers while the meat cooks:

• Pita Bread
• Olives
• Tabouleh
• Hummas
• Feta
• Tzatziki Sauce (yougurt with dill and cucumbers). For Ina Garten’s recipe for this click here
