🍲 Ingredients

Pork Souvlaki – Pork is loaded with several nutritional benefits. It’s rich in protein which is essential for muscle maintenance and growth. Pork also provides vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, and zinc. I also find it a very budget-friendly meat and it’s so flavorful.

Lemon Potatoes – If you talk to any Greek you’ll find out that they LOVE lemon potatoes. They are just so easy and flavorful. Lemon potatoes are vibrant, tangy, and have the perfect crunch on the outside but softness on the inside. They are usually served as a side to a souvlaki or gyro meat but you can truly serve them with anything because they’re that good.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Pork Souvlaki

Make the potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.  You can also lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or use a non-stick baking dish if you don’t have any parchment.  Both are fine.
2. Into a large mixing bowl add lemon juice, olive oil, mustard and whisk together to combine. Add the potatoes, salt, greek freak spice and garlic and toss together well to coat the potatoes.
3. Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet or dish.
4. Cook for 40-45 minutes in the middle of the oven until the potatoes are tender and starting to brown. For extra crispiness finish your potatoes off with a 5-minute broil in the oven. Set aside.

Make the pork skewers

1. Marinate the pork: Add all of the pork marinade ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk together to combine. Add all of the pieces of pork to the marinade, toss to fully coat and let sit for 30 minutes.
2. After 30 minutes, thread the marinated pork onto the skewers.
3. Heat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400F.
4. Oil the grill well and when heated, place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature reached 145F) and well browned.
5. Remove from the grill and let rest.

Assemble the bowls

1. Divide the ingredients between 4 bowls – First add a large dollop of tzatziki to the bowl. Next add in a spoonful or two of potatoes and add 1-2 small skewers of pork to the bowl (or remove the pork from the skewers). Add in the tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions and garnish with 1 tbsp fresh dill and 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese per bowl.

🗒 Tips and Tricks

• Pork: Use pork tenderloin or pork shoulder for making pork souvlaki.
• Trimming: Trim access fat from the pork before preparing.
• Marinade: Marinade the meat for at least 2 hours for optimal results.
• Resting: Let your meat rest for a few minutes before serving.

👝 How to Store Leftovers

Store leftovers for up to 4 days. I like to store the meat and potatoes separately so I can easily re-heat it. Then store the veggies on their own to re-assemble the bowls.
