Hi friends! Summer is here and I’m looking for reasons to grill anything and everything…mostly so I don’t have to turn my oven on! These Easy Greek-Style Pork Souvlaki Skewers are my latest favourite thing to throw on the grill and I can’t wait to share them with you today!

Where we live in Eastern Europe air conditioning isn’t really common in most homes, so we’ve learned to cope without it (which is a big change from how we used to live in Canada!). Thankfully, living in the mountains means we get natural air conditioning at night but during the day is a different story!

That’s one reason (besides the flavour of course!) that we love outdoor grilling so much – it keeps the house cool on those hot summer evenings!

These Easy Greek-Style Pork Souvlaki Skewers are one of my favourite summer grilling recipes because they remind me of the trips we’ve taken to Greece and all the delicious street food available there! Enjoy these delicious souvlaki skewers with a side of tzatziki and a Greek salad and you’ve got a delicious summer meal!

Author Chrissie (thebusybaker.ca)

Ingredients

• 4 4-oz pork neck steaks, cut into chunks or use small 16 oz pork shoulder or pork butt roast, cut into chunks
• 1 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic finely minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Soak about 8 wooden skewers in some water, or set aside metal skewers to use for this recipe (this will prevent the skewers from burning).

2. Cut the pork steaks or pork roast into square chunks about 1 and a half inches to 2 inches in length.

3. Whisk together the wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, basil, parsley, seasoning salt, and pepper until well combined.

4. Push the chunks of pork onto the soaked skewers, about 4-6 pieces per skewer depending on the size.

5. Pour the marinade into a shallow container or baking dish and place the pork skewers into the marinade, turning several times to coat.

6. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, place in the fridge and let marinate from 1 to 6 hours.

7. Heat your barbecue or indoor grill to medium-high heat and brush with olive oil (if necessary). You can also use a large frying pan or griddle.

8. Grill the skewers for about 3-6 minutes per side until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 65 degrees Celsius (150 Fahrenheit).

9. Let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
