Pork & Potato Souvlaki

I love Greek food and my favorite low-carb menu item is souvlaki. I have made this many times before but this time around I decided to mix it up a little and add potatoes to my skewers. The results were delicious. I served this with double cucumber mint tzatziki, hummus, and a simple salad. Yummy.

Ingredients:

2lbs pork loin roast
1/4 cup Meyer lemon olive oil
1 regular lemon or several small Trader Joe's size lemons
1 1/2 heaping tablespoon of oregano, plus a few shakes.
2 large Yukon Gold potatoes
3 garlic cloves - minced with a microplane

Directions: Do this in the morning of grill day.

  1. Cube pork into 1 inch cubes and then put cubes in a glass bowl or gallon plastic bag.
  2. Add olive oil, 1 TBS + oregano, 1-2 garlic cloves minced and about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  3. Stir well or shake and then place container in the fridge to "meld"
  4. Cube potatoes and boil until slightly undercooked. 
  5. Toss potatoes with 1/8 cup lemon juice, oregano and at least one clove of minced garlic. Add more if you like garlic. Add salt and pepper.  Let "meld" in the fridge until dinner time.
  6. Thread 2 cubes of pork and then one potato: repeat
  7. Grill until meat is cooked through.
