Ingredients

Steps

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Add the pork cubes and toss to coat, then marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Thread the pork onto skewers.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning often, until charred and cooked through.
Rest for 5 minutes, then serve in warm pita with tzatziki and onion.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to stop them from burning.
