Pork Souvlaki

An easy dinner dish to make.  You could switch the pork for chicken if you prefer.  The Tzatziki in this is really nice.  From Canadian Living/The Barbecue Collection.

2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
675 g pork tenderloin trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
Half red onion, sliced
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
4 greek style pocketless pitas

Tzatziki:
1 cup shredded cucumber
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup Balkan style plain yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, optional
1 tbsp lemon juice

TZATZIKI
Mix cucumber with slat; let stand for 10 minutes.  Squeeze out moisture.  Stir together cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill and lemon juice.


Meanwhile, whisk together lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; toss with pork until coated.  Marinate for 10 minutes or covered and refrigerated, up to 6 hours.

Reserving any remaining marinade, thread pork onto skewers; brush with marinade.  Grill covered on greased grill over medium high heat, turning halfway through, until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, about 12 minutes.  Remove skewers.  Serve with tomatoes, onion, lettuce and tzatziki on pitas.
