Small skewers of marinated pork grilled hot and fast over charcoal, the everyday Greek street food eaten straight off the stick or tucked into pita.

Method

Mix the marinade

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.

Marinate the pork

Toss the pork cubes in the marinade and let them sit briefly so they pick up flavor.

Even a short marinade works here — the pieces are small and pick up flavor fast.

10 min

Thread the skewers

Thread the pork cubes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.

Grill the skewers

Grill the skewers over high heat, turning every couple of minutes, until charred outside and cooked through.

Pork is done at 63C internal; a little char on the edges is the point.

10 min

Rest briefly

Let the skewers rest for a minute off the heat before serving.

1 min

Serve with lemon

Serve the souvlaki hot with lemon wedges on the side.
