    👩🏻‍🍳Chef's tips

    It's important that your pork must is thoroughly cooked inside, as pork can carry bacteria, which are killed during cooking.

    💡 Frequently Asked Questions

    How to cook souvlaki?

    Oven, plancha, barbecue or frying pan: make do with what you've got!

    How to store them?

    Cooked pork can be kept for 3 days in an airtight tin in the fridge. However, I advise you to add the vegetables at the last minute, so that they retain their flavor and juiciness.

    Which part of the pig to buy?

    My butcher recommended the loin, which is very tender and tastes delicious. You can ask him to pre-cut the loin into pieces, so that all you have to do is cook them and put them on the skewers.

    When to eat tomatoes and cucumbers?

    Tomato: June to September included.
    Cucumber: May to October included.

    🇬🇷 Other Greek gems

    • Gyros: pita, summer vegetables, meat and sauce

    Greek pork Souvlaki

    These tender cuts of meat with grilled vegetables are quick and easy, perfect for a summer meal.
    Servings 4 servings
    Prep Time 10 minutes mins
    Cook Time 25 minutes mins

    Ingredients

    • 1.9 lb pork shoulder
    • 1 large tomato
    • 1 ¼ cups cucumber
    • 1 small zucchini
    • 1 small red onion
    • 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt
    • 1 lime
    • mint leaves
    • 2 tablespoons oregano
    • 2 tablespoons thyme
    • Several basil leaves
    • 1 garlic clove
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • Several pitas for serving, optional
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • In a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil, sauté the sliced zucchini over high heat until tender.
    • If your butcher hasn't cut the pork shoulder, cut it into coarse pieces. Place in a second frying pan with a light drizzle of olive oil and add the oregano. Fry over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, turning the pieces frequently. It's important that the pork is well cooked to avoid any risk of bacteria.
    • Prepare the sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, chopped herbs (thyme, mint and basil), pressed garlic clove and lime juice. Taste and adjust if necessary.
    • Thread the pork pieces onto skewers and place in a dish. Chop the tomato and cucumber and place them in the dish too.
    • Add the yoghurt sauce to the pork, finely chop the red onion and sprinkle with it.
    • Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with a few fresh herbs and serve with pitas if you like.

    Notes

    Your pork must be thoroughly cooked inside. This is very important, as pork can carry bacteria, which are killed during cooking.
