Greek Night (Pork Souvlaki)

My family loves food, actually as I write this new blog we are all sitting in the family room watching Iron Chef.  Earlier this week we were in the mood for Greek so in my first attempt to cook Greek (when I'm not) I created a new favorite that is now going in to the family recipe box and has grabbed the title of Greek Night.  Hope you enjoy it and OPA!

Ingredients

Pork (cut into chunks, dont make them small)
1/2 cup Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
1 Lemon Juice
Lemon Zest
Oregano (minced)
Red Onion (minced)
2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
Salt
Black Pepper

In a large Ziplock bag add your pork (you can also use chicken) add olive oil, garlic, lemon juice from one whole lemon, oregano, red onion, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

Shake the bag and place in the fridge for at least two hours or better overnight. Remove from bag and strick pork on a skewer for grilling. Grill on the bbq until pork is cooked through and remove from skewer.  (Try not to over cook or pork will be dry)

Prepare Tetziki

1 cup plain yogurt
3 Garlic Cloves (grated)
Cucumber peeled and grated ( I used a little more then a quarter of a whole cucumber and I didnt use the core with the seeds)
1 tbsp sour cream (optional)
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
Black pepper to taste

just mix it all together and refridgerate for at least two hours.

Prepare the Pita

Look for Greek Pita (its softer and more doughy)
brush both sides with olive oil and place on a hot skillet, toast both sides
Do this just as the pork has finished grilling then place on the plate and top with pork and tetziki

We had our souvlaki with lemon infused rice and greek salad. So so good!
