Total Time 20 minutes
Course Main
Cuisine Greek, Mediterranean
Servings 4 souvlakia

Equipment

  • Large non-stick pan
  • Food processor
  • Large bowl
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

For the pork gyros

  • 1 whole pork tenderloin cut into strips
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1/2 whole red onion sliced

For the tzatziki sauce

  • 1 whole cucumber
  • 500 g yogurt

To serve

  • 4 pieces pita breads

Instructions
 

  • To prepare this souvlaki recipe start by preparing the pork gyros. Mix into a large bowl the tenderloin (cut into strips), the garlic, the red onion, 3-4 tbsp of olive oil, 1-2 tbsp of red wine vinegar, some thyme, some rosemary, and mix with your hands. Squeeze the ingredients together, so that all the flavours blend and add 1/2 tbsp of honey. Wrap the bowl and put it into the fridge. Leave the marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours, before using it (ideally leave it over night).
  • In a (very hot) large non-sticking pan, add the tenderloin along with the ingredients of the marinade, and sauté for 1 minute on each side, without stirring, until the meat is nicely coloured, crispy and tender inside.

Notes

For an easier version, you can substitute the tzatziki sauce with some fresh yogurt or some mustard and mayonnaise sauce.
