Pork souvlaki

 

Method 1

Ingredients

400g lean pork shoulder, cut into 2cm chunks

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tbsp dried oregano

1 lemon, zested and juiced

½ tsp hot paprika

100ml fat-free yogurt

1 small garlic clove, grated

½ cucumber, trimmed and grated

2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks

2 Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated

chilli sauce, to serve (optional)

flatbreads, warmed, to serve (optional)

STEP 1

Put the pork in a large bowl with the oil, oregano, lemon zest and juice and paprika as well as a good pinch of salt. Toss everything together to combine and leave to marinate for 10 mins.

STEP 2

Combine the yogurt, garlic and cucumber together in a bowl. Season with salt and set aside.

STEP 3

Heat the grill to high. Thread the marinated pork and the peppers on four metal skewers, alternating between the pork and peppers as you go. Place on a non-stick baking sheet and grill for 3-4 mins on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.

STEP 4

Serve with the lettuce, yogurt mixture and chilli sauce, and flatbreads, if you like.

Ingredients:

- 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into cubes

2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

3. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and bell pepper.

4. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred.
