From kalyn's Kitchen "Souvlaki is a Greek dish, and the more authentic spelling of this would be Souvlakia. It's traditionally made with pork, as I did here, although in the U.S. you can often see Chicken Souvlaki often on menus in American Green Restaurants. Whether you use pork, chicken, or lamb, Souvlaki is great served with Tzatziki Sauce."

Ingredients

4 - 6 Thick boneless pork chops (I used those ultra-thick pork chops from Costco and cut each one into six pieces)

Marinade:

1/2 cup Olive oil

1/2 cup Fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 t Red wine vinegar

1 t Dried oregano (if you have fresh oregano, even better, use 2 T of fresh)

1 t Finely minced garlic

Preparation

Cut pork chops into cubes about 1 1/2" - 2" square and place in zip loc bag. Combine marinade ingredients and pour over meat. Marinate in refrigerator for 6-24 hours.

Preheat grill to high and let meat come to room temperature. Thread on to skewers, pressing meat closely together so it doesn't spin on the grill. (Double skewers are great if you can find them.)

When grill is hot, place Souvlaki skewers on grill and reduce heat to medium-high. Grill until very well browned on all sides, about 20-25 minutes. This is good served with Tzatziki sauce, a traditional Greek sauce made from yogurt, cucumbers, onions, garlic, and dill.
