- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
about 2 cups cups pork roast cut into bite sized cubes1 large yellow or white onion, cut into large chunks 1 lemon, juice only, about 4 Tbsp. 3 Tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. minced garlic, (about 2 cloves) 1 tsp. dried oregano, (or 1 Tbsp. fresh) 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. black pepper 4 Greek pita breads 4 tsp crumbled feta cheese
Place the meat and onions in a large self-sealing bag or flat dish with sides. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper, and pour the mixture over the meat and onions. Flip the meat to coat it, and marinate it for at least one hour and up to 24 hours.
Remove the meat from the marinade, transfer it to a broiling tray. Broil the meat and onions for about 6 - 8 minutes, turning once, until it is lightly browned and just cooked through. Meanwhile, warm the pita pockets in the oven, in the microwave, or on the grill (see tip below.) To serve it, wrap the souvlaki in the warm pita, topped with the feta cheese.
Flavor Booster: Double the oregano and pepper and serve it with chopped tomatoes.
Tip: Brush the pitas with olive oil and grill or broil them briefly on both sides to heat them.
