Pork Souvlaki {with Tzatziki Sauce}.
It’s time for a relatively wordless Wednesday. These skewers of happiness happened. A simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic and fresh oregano infuse the tender pork chunks with classic Greek flavor.
Marinate at least two hours or up to overnight. Thread onto skewers and grill. Reduce remaining marinade. Serve Pork Souvlaki on pita flat bread, with sliced red onion, tomato and freshly made Tzatziki Sauce. Fresh and flavorful. Enjoy!!
