Directions:Fix the pork cubes onto the skewers.
Place them in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and then immerse in 60 ml of the oil.
Put in the fridge for approx. 1 hour.
Remove from the bowl and grill on both sides on a barbecue or in the grill of the cooker.
Beat the remaining olive oil (setting aside 3 tbsp before you do so) in a bowl with the lemon juice.
Dip the souvlakia in this mixture and then place on a large dish or platter.
Sprinkle them with the salt and oregano mixture.
Cover them with aluminium foil to keep them warm while you prepare the pita breads.
Place the 3 tbsp oil you set aside earlier in a bowl, add the ½ tsp oregano and ½ tsp salt and stir.
Brush each pita bread with this and put under the grill. Turn over and brush the other side and grill.
Don’t leave the bread under the grill too long as it shouldn’t become hard. Just enough to warm it.
On a table or work surface put the souvlakia, pita breads, tomatoes, onions, French fries and tzatziki.
Remove the pork cubes from the skewer and place down the middle of the pita bread.
Depending on what each person wants, add tomatoes, onions, French fries and tzatziki.
Fold the pita bread around the ingredients and wrap the bottom half with greaseproof paper or aluminium foil. |

The normal accompaniments to the meat are tomato, onion, french fries and tzatziki. So in addition to the recipe, you will need to have prepared tzatziki beforehand (see the recipe in my cookbook) and at some point to prepare some french fries.
