Greek Pork Skewers

Its has been a while since my last post. Thing have been busy being a stay at home dad. There was a trip to the emergency room to deal with an allergic reaction, a trip to the doctors lots of running around. The pork skewers were done on Tuesday before things got really busy. There is a bit of prep work but it doesn't take too long to cook. Its pretty tasty and can be served with tzatziki sauce but my wife picked up some spicy peanut sauce and we used that instead. Perhaps when we have the pork satay we will have to have tzatziki with that.

For the skewers you will need...

2 Pork Tenderloins
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 lemon

You will need to soak the skewers for at least an hour so they won't burn on the grill or in the oven. Cut the pork tenderloin into 1 inch cubes, trying to keep them all the same size. Then juice the lemon and put all the ingredients in a non-reactive bowl or a ziplock bag to marinate for an hour or even a day. Its best to do the prep work the night before and the pork will be nice a tasty.

After the pork has been marinated place them onto the skewers you can add onions, peppers and mushrooms if you would like. Place them on the BBQ over medium high heat and they'll be done in under twenty minutes. Make sure you turn them a few times. You can also fry them in a pan or bake them in the over at 400F. This recipe serves four.

We had baked sweet potatos with them and some sliced cucumber but you can also do a greek salad and oven roasted potatoes too.

Enjoy!
