Traditional Souvlaki Pork Kebabs

Souvlaki Kebabs are great for serving in a warm pitta bread with salad, Tahini dip a good squeeze of lemon. The smaller chunks of meat cook quickly and evenly over white hot coals using our fantastic Rotisserie BBQ's and motors

Serves: 3/4

Preparation Time: 30 minutes (plus a couple of hours to Marinade)

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons greek olive oil
  • 1 good pinch of dried greek oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 500g (1.2 lb) pork neck or shoulder, diced into 2.5cm (1”) cubes

Preparation

  • In a large glass bowl, mix together lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and pork, stir to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Thread pork onto skewers.
  • Cook for 10 to 15 minutes brushing with olive oil sporadically, turning skewers 

Serving suggestions

Serve in a warm pitta bread with salad, Tahini dip a good squeeze of lemon.

Tips

Buy a good cut of pork with plenty of fat and alternate the fatty pieces between more lean cuts of meat as this will allow the meat to self-baste during cooking and you will end up with delicious crispy bits

For best results, obviously we highly recommend cooking using our fantastic motorised Traditional Cyprus charcoal barbecues!

    Hi, can you advise why my souvlaki kebabs are always tough please?
    I buy good quality pork neck end pork.
    Is it because I cook too high heat or is it something else?
    Thanks
