*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*
Ingredients:
- 2-1/2 lbs. lean boneless pork, cut into 1″ cubes
- ½ cup olive oil
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 Tbs. dry white wine (or white cooking wine)
- 1-¼ tsps. oregano
- ¾ tsp. black pepper
- 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 pkg. lg. Pita bread (sometimes called pocket bread)
- chopped tomato, chopped onion and shredded lettuce for toppings
- Tzatziki Sauce
Place the pork cubes into a non-metal bowl or into a gallon-size zipper type freezer bag. Make marinade by combining the next six ingredients. Pour over the pork cubes and toss to coat all the cubes with the marinade. Cover bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate overnight. Thread the pork onto skewers and grill or broil 6″ from burner, brushing with marinade. Turn once during cooking and brush again. Place in center of Pita rounds and top with tomato, onion and lettuce and serve with Tzatziki Sauce.
You can use the marinade with beef or chicken instead of pork also and use the same recipe. The meat cooks fairly quickly.
Souvlaki is one of Michael’s favorite comfort foods. No toppings for him, except for the sauce.
