Recipe 118- Greek SOUVLAKI

This is originally made with pork on an upright spit. But this is extremely difficult to have in a house kitchen. So we are going to replace it with grilled pork stripes.

Ingredients

500 gr pork cut in stripes
1 tomato chopped
1 onion chopped
2 cups tzatziki (see recipe 71)
12 pitta bread (see recipe 10 )
2 tablespoons olive oil

Heat the oil in a pan over medium high temperature. Put the pork and cook for 30 min until it is well done.
Meanwhile prepare the tzatziki. The pitta bread is better to have it ready from the previous day, but you need to fry them again just for 1 min (30 sec each side).
When everything is ready place a pitta on a plate. Spread some tzatziki, add some pieces of tomato and onion and several pieces of pork stripes. Roll the pitta so that all ingredients stay inside. Looks great? Wait until you taste it!
