PORK SOUVLAKI (SKEWERS) WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE

Steps:
- To prepare the pork souvlaki (skewers), cut the pork into 2 cm pieces and place them in a large bowl, along with all the marinade ingredients. Use your hands to mix really well, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- In the meantime prepare the tzatziki sauce for the pork souvlaki. Pour into a food processor the olive oil and 2 cloves of garlic; blend until the garlic is diluted (don't leave any large pieces of garlic). Into a large bowl, grate the cucumber, season with salt and pepper and leave it aside for 10 minutes. Wrap the grated cucumber into a towel and squeeze, in order to get rid of most of the water. Into a bowl, add the cucumber, the blended garlic and oil, the yogurt, 1-2 tbsps of chopped dill, 1-2 of red wine vinegar, salt and pepper and mix. Tore in the fridge and serve cold.
- Cut the wooden skewers to fit your griddle pan and soak them in water for 10 minutes. (This will prevent them from burning.) Thread the pieces of pork, comfortably, on the skewers.
- Preheat a grill or griddle pan on a high heat. Cook the pork skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely coloured and cooked through.
- While your pork is cooking, prepare the pita breads. Preheat the oven to 250C. Use a cooking brush to oil the pita breads on both sides and season with salt and oregano. Place a large oven tray (upside down) at the bottom of the oven and place the pita breads on top of the tray. Bake for 1-2 minutes.
- To serve the pork souvlaki (skewers), slice 2 red onions and place on a platter; top with the pork skewers, drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Serve while still warm with some pita breads and tzatziki sauce or wrap them up like a sandwich, adding some tzatziki, sliced onions and tomatoes. Enjoy!
GRILLED PORK KABOBS WITH VEGETABLES (ITALY)
Steps:
- Clean and prepare the vegetables. Deseed the bell pepper and remove the white part. Then, cut it into 1-inch squares. Peel the onions and cut them into 8 wedges each.
- Dice the pork loin into 1-inch cubes, trying to keep the size consistent for a better result.
- Assemble the skewers by alternating one piece of meat and one piece of vegetable. In the end, you should have around 8 skewers.
- Lay the skewers on a large tray and toss with coarse salt, extra virgin olive oil and black pepper. Add rosemary and sage. Cover and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill on medium-high heat.
- When the grill is nice and hot, add the skewers and cook for 15 minutes, rotating them one quarter at a time.
- While cooking, you can spread the marinade on the skewers using the rosemary sprig as a brush.

Plan ahead the pork needs to marinade for a minimum of 8-24 hours, if you are using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the meat on and grilling. I like to thread on large cherry tomatoes also --- this great served with recipe #105726 :)

Steps:
- Place the onion, garlic, parsley and all the seasoning in the bowl of a small food processor. Pulse until thoroughly mixed.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground meat and the onion mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Take a small spoonful of the mixture, flatten it into a tiny patty and cook in a small skillet. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Refrigerate the bowl with the meat mixture for about two hours so that it firms up and is easier to handle.
- Divide the mixture into 6 portions and shape into 6 oblong patties. Place one patty on your hand and place the skewer on top. Press the meat mixture around the skewer and form it into the shape of a small sausage. Pinch the ends so that the meat sticks to the skewer. Continue forming the rest of the kebabs like this until there is no mixture left. (At this point you can loosely cover them and store them in the refrigerator to grill later in the day).
- Heat the grill. Once it is up to temperature, liberally oil the grill grates. Then place the kebabs on the grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the kebabs. If a grill is not available you can also cook the kebabs on a cast iron griddle.
- Serve with toasted pita bread wedges, tzatziki sauce, and a big summer salad on the side.
