Pork Souvlaki with Tzatziki
This recipe was on the TODAY show by Chef Gabi Dalkin. They were very easy to make just remember they need to marinate minimum of 2 hours preferable overnight.
For the Marinade
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1½ pounds pork loin, trimmed of silver skin and excess fat, cut into 1-inch cubes
For theTzatziki
1½ cups Greek yogurt
1 Persian cucumber, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1. In a small bowl, mix all marinade ingredients together. In a large plastic bag, add the pork and pour the marinade mixture over the meat. Remove any excess air, seal the bag and toss to coat pork evenly with the marinade. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the tzatziki ingredients. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight overnight.
3. Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prior to use. Remove the pork from the marinade and thread the cubes of marinated pork onto the skewers.
4. Preheat an indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the pork skewers until they browned on all sides and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes, turning so each side gets direct heat during cooking. Transfer the skewers to a plate and rest for 5 minutes.
Serve with tzatziki, fresh pita and extra lemons, as desired.
