RECIPE: GRILLED PORK SOUVLAKI

1/4 cup, extra virgin olive oil (60 ml), divided
2 cloves garlic, sliced and gently sautéed in olive oil and chopped
1 tsp. dried Greek oregano (5 ml)
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (30 ml)
Grated zest and juice of ½ lemon
2 pork shoulder chops, cut into 2 “ strips, large fatty pieces trimmed
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
½ tsp. smoked paprika ( 2.5 ml)
½ tsp. onion powder (2.5 ml)
Tzatziki, for serving
Pita bread, for serving
Bamboo or wooden skewers , soaked in water for 30-60 minutes

In a large bowl, combine pork pieces, ½ the olive oil, sautéed garlic, oregano , paprika, onion powder , lemon zest, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. If using wooden skewers soak them in water while pork is marinating to prevent burning.
Combine the rest of olive oil with lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk to blend.

Preheat bbq to high and brush well to thoroughly clean.

Thread pork evenly onto 4 skewers. Reduce bbq to medium high and lay skewers on grill for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even browning. Brush evenly with olive and lemon mixture and remove from grill. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with warmed pita , tzatziki and tomatoes.

Makes 4 souvlaki
