Method
- Important: Make sure that your dried herbs are fresh.
- They only last about six months, so if theyre old, get some new.
- Prepare the tzatziki sauce.
- Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
- This will help keep the sauce from being too watery.
- Mince the cucumber, put it on some plastic wrap, and sprinkle with a bit of the salt.
- Wrap the cucumber up in the plastic wrap and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- The salt will help draw some moisture out of the cucumber.
- In the meantime, add all of the remaining sauce ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- When the cucumber has rested for 30 minutes, open one end of the plastic wrap and squeeze out as much water as you can.
- Add the cucumber to the sauce, stir to combine, cover and refrigerate.
- For the souvlaki, combine all of the marinade ingredients (everything except the pork) in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Put the pork in a large zip-top bag, add the marinade, seal while removing the air.
- Place the bag in a lipped pan (to catch any leaks) and refrigerate 4 hours.
- If youre using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least an hour.
- Start your grill and prepare for direct cooking at medium-high heat (375-400 degrees F).
- While your grill is heating, skewer the meat with five pieces on each skewer.
- If you want to serve grilled vegetables, skewer them separately.
- Grill the pork and veggies direct for about four minutes per side.
- Serve the pork on a warm pita smeared with tzatziki and topped with some grilled veggies.
- Enjoy!
