How to make it

6 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Place the cubed pork

    Place the cubed pork into a large glass bowl or a resealable plastic bag.

  2. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt

    In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. Pour the marinade

    Pour the marinade over the pork. Toss well to ensure every piece is coated. Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (2 hours preferred).

  4. Thread the marinated meat

    Thread the marinated meat onto skewers, pressing the pieces together slightly so they stay juicy during cooking.

  5. Preheat your grill or broiler

    Preheat your grill or broiler to 400°F (204°C). Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is browned on all sides and cooked through.

    15 min
  6. Lightly toast the pita breads

    Lightly toast the pita breads on the grill for 1 minute per side. Serve the skewers on top of the warm pita.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best flavor, use pork shoulder or neck as these cuts stay juicy on the grill. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
