Pork Souvlaki

Pork Souvlaki

1 1/2 lbs boneless pork loin or pork tenderloins
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 cup prepared tzatziki, sauce (make your own - recipe in'zaar)
• 6 greek style pita breads
Directions
Trim and cut pork into 1 inch cubes.
In large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
Add pork and stir to coat.
Marinate for 10 minutes (make ahead: cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours).
Evenly thread pork onto skewers; place on foil lined baking sheet.
Brush with marinade.
Broil 6 inches away from heat, turning halfway through, until just a hint of pink remains inside, about 12 minutes.
Spread tzatziki over each pita.
Remove pork from skewers and place on pitas; fold over.

I had Scott BBQ the skewers since it was too hot to turn the oven on and they were delicious! I served the skewers seperate from the tzatziki and pitas. I also served Greek Salad which I think rounded out the meal nicely.
