Ingrediënten

De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

   Ongeveer 2 min

2. 2

   Add the cubed pork to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

   Ongeveer 3 min

   Tip van de kok: Marinating longer yields more tender and flavorful pork.

3. 3

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling to prevent burning on the grill.

   Ongeveer 30 min

4. 4

   Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, typically 4-5 pieces per skewer, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.

   Ongeveer 10 min

5. 5

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 200-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

   Ongeveer 10 min

6. 6

   Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has nice char marks on all sides. The internal temperature should reach 63°C.

   Ongeveer 15 min

   Tip van de kok: Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your pork cubes and grill temperature.

7. 7

   Remove the souvlaki from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
