Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Aproximativ 2 min.
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.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Marinating longer yields more tender and flavorful pork.
3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling to prevent burning on the grill.
Aproximativ 30 min.
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.
Aproximativ 10 min.
5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 200-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Aproximativ 10 min.
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.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your pork cubes and grill temperature.
7
Remove the souvlaki from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
