I was hoping a long marinade time and the quick broiling would make this ok, and it did taste good, but I was still disapointed that the pork wasn't as tender as I'd like. Perhaps I'm spoiled by braising. Tasted good though!

I had a pork loin and didn't feel like having roast, so I made this with Tzatziki and it was delicious!

I lived in Greece for a couple of years and have been making souvlaki ever since. This recipe is a wonderful way to prepare the meat but is incomplete. I agree on the choice of pork over lamb due to cost. This recipe is greatly improved by doing the following; 1) fry up some sliced RED onions in a pan to add to the pita and just before pulling from the heat, add diced fresh ROMA tomatoes in with the onions until tomatoes are warm. 2) Coat your pitas with olive oil and grill them on both sides about the time your pork is done. 3) Take your grilled pita, add the meat from this recipe, then add the fried onions and tomatoes, then cover with tzatziki, then sprinkle with paprika. YUM! By the way, the traditional way to serve this in Greece is with fries cooked in olive oil. If you have never tried this, it is delicious.

This is how Souvlaki should taste and how I remember eating it in Greece, we only didn't have the sunshine to go with it! Made Souflaki before but used too many other herbs I think. In this recipe the oregano is prominent and we found that gave it a very authentic flavor. Cooked them in the grill pan on the stove top and served them with a Greek salad, pita and Tzatziki Thanks Derf, another good recipe to go on the barbeque this coming summer!
