Grilled Pork Souvlaki


My kitchen is torn up right now and it is a mess. Everything is in boxes as we are getting some needed repairs done. I am so excited for a new kitchen and will be so glad when it is all done. We have been eating out a lot. It is really hot here, but I wanted to try grilling despite the heat. I don't have any photos, sorry, my camera is somewhere in the mess and my daughter is away this weekend with hers(the above photo I found on the web, cheating, sorry). I hope you enjoy the recipe.

Grilled Pork Souvlaki

1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried whole oregano
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound pork tenderloin or pork loin chops, cut in 2” cubes for grilling
1 large green pepper, cut into 2” cubes( I like to use the yellow ones also)
1 medium onion, cut into 2” cubes
**************************
Combine, oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, pepper, salt together in a zip lock bag. Put the pork in the bag and seal, give it a shake and refrigerate for an hour. Using skewers, alternate peppers, onion and pork leaving room at each end of the skewer so the food doesn't slip off into the grill.

**************************
Grill for 10-15 minutes on medium heat, turning often and using the marinade in the bag brush them often while cooking.
***********************
This is easy and delicious, served with a nice fresh salad and fruit.
***********************
Enjoy.

I am jealous about the NEW kitchen. We are going to move to Utah, it looks like. This looks like a great and tasty treat for the taste buds.
Thanks for the recipe.
