Souvlaki is a fantastic dish characterized by its bright, fresh flavor. This is due in no small part to its marinade of vibrant ingredients that are distinctly Greek. Serve with fresh tzatzkiki sauce and warm pita, and you have a Mediterranean feast!!
1/2 cup EVOO
1 small red onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 T. fresh lemon juice
2 T. red wine vinegar
2 T. chopped fresh oregano
1 t. dried mint (I am going to use fresh off my farm*)
Kosher* salt and freshly* ground pepper, to taste
1&1/2 lbs. pork loin, trimmed of silver skin and excess fat., cut into 1" cubes
Mix together all ingredients except the pork in a zipper-lock bag. Add in the pork cubes, seal the bag, and toss to coat the pork with the marinade. Open the bag and reseal, removing as much of the air as possible. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. Heat the grill or broiler to high. Thread the pork cubes on metal or wooden skewers (soak in water for at least an hour to prevent burning). Grill the pork skewers until they are browned on all sides and cooked through (about 8-12 mins.), turning 4 times during cooking. Remove the skewers to a plate and allow to rest for 5 mins. Serve with the tzatziki sauce and warm pita with a side of kalamata olives*.
