pork souvlaki and tzatziki on a pita


Well I spent the day driving to and from the International Peace Gardens picking up kids from camp. They were a very happy bunch telling me all about their week and about the food.
My daughter wanted something different because they ate burgers,tacos,chicken and rice so I thought of this recipe.

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp oregano  fresh or dried
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 lb boneless pork loin
trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cups greek yogurt
1 cup peeled grated or cupped seeded cucumber
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tsp red chili
3 whole pitas

whisk together, lemon juice,olive oil,oregano,salt,pepper garlic minus 1/2 tsp pour over meat.
let marinate for an hour or so
put 4-6 pieces on each skewer
dip

2 cups greek yogurt,cucumber, garlic,red pepper,1/2 tsp lemon juice,pinch of salt.
chill in fridge

grill meat for 8-10 minutes turning every 2 mins to grill each side
