Pork Skewers with Tzatziki Sauce

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs pork neck cubes (cut into 2 inch chunks)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 Tbsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp ground black pepper
  • 10-inch bamboo skewers or wooden skewers

Tzatziki Sauce:

  • 1 large cucumber skin on
  • 2-3 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsps chopped dill fresh or dried
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste about 1/2 teaspoon of each

To serve:

  • 4 Ezekiel or gluten-free pita bread
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 2 fresh tomatoes chopped
  • 2 large cucumbers chopped
  • fresh parsley leaves chopped
  • fresh lemon wedges optional

Instructions

  • Place pork cubes in a large bowl with oil, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to combine and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes, so they don't burn on the grill.
  • Grate the cucumber. Lightly squeeze the grated cucumber between your palms over the sink to remove excess moisture. Transfer the cucumber to a serving bowl and add yogurt, oil, minced garlic, dill, sea salt, and pepper, then stir. Refrigerate your tzatziki until ready to use.
  • Heat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to high.
  • Thread the marinated pork onto the wooden skewers.
  • Place on a grill or grill pan and grill 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and nicely golden brown.
  • Prepare your veggies. Chop your tomato, cucumber, onion, and parsley.
  • Grill the pita bread (if you like) until lightly browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
  • To serve, place tzatziki sauce on a plate, lay pork on top, add chopped veggies, and sprinkle with parsley leaves. Serve with the pita if desired.
  • Enjoy!
