Easy BBQ Pork Recipe For SouvlakiSkewered Souvlaki is a really easy BBQ pork recipe although some chefs may use lamb. Marinade the meat in olive oil and red wine to ensure wonderful results on the barbecue grill.
If you’ve ever been to Greece you’ll know that Souvlaki is available on every street corner, it’s the classic kebab take-away and with a little marinade time it can be reproduced on the barbecue. A great complement to Souvlaki is the yogurt sauce Tzaziki , again easily made up with cucumber, garlic and olive oil – something to do while the marinade is working its magic. Tzaziki does however need an hour or so in the refrigerator to chill and let the flavors combine and don’t forget to soak some bamboo skewers . Ingredients:-
Method:- Make up the marinade in a bowl using the olive oil, the juice of two of the lemons, salt and pepper, throw in the pork and allow to marinade for at least one hour. Thread the pork onto wooden skewers and grill for about 10 minutes turning occasionally to ensure the kebab is cooked on all sides. In the meantime, place the pittas on the grill and warm them through taking care not to toast them. 
When the meat is done, dip them in a long glass containing the remaining lemon juice (or brush it on) and then holding a pitta bread in one hand empty the skewer contents in it removing the skewer. Sprinkle with oregano and salt, spoon on some tzaziki and your souvlaki is ready to eat.If you really want to get into the Greek mood with this BBQ pork recipe then you could try a glass of Retsina but I have to say for some reason Retsina tastes better in Greece – the pine resin flavor just doesn’t travel well in my view. I’d recommend searching out a bottle of wine from Crete. See Also:-
