I recently went to Cyprus for a friend's wedding, where the food just blew me away. I have missed European food - especially Greek/Cypriot and it was all so glorious; even the pork! I never eat pork. Well, I eat bacon, but never buy pork in any other form, as I've never really enjoyed it...until I was in Cyprus! All of it was so delicious (probably all the salt), I came home with a giant craving to continue my mediterranean diet. And although it'll probably never be as good as the real thing, I decided to have a good try at replicating the Pork Souvlaki. And boy, did it taste good.
Pork Souvlaki
Ingredients14oz (400g) pork shoulder cut into cubes
marinade
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 crushed garlic clove (although if you're like me, you can add more)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
- Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the cubed meat.
- Leave to marinate for at least an hour, but preferably around 4 hours.
- Place the meat onto the skewers
- Cook on the grill for around 10 minutes, until cooked through
- Enjoy!
