Instructions

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the pork cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a separate bowl, toss the potato cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil (use from pantry or adjust recipe if needed), 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Make the Tzatziki: While the potatoes roast, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate until serving.

Skewer and Grill the Pork: Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers. Grill over medium-high heat (or broil) for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to use.

Warm the Pita: Lightly toast or warm the pita bread.

Assemble and Serve: Serve the pork souvlaki alongside the roasted lemon-herb potatoes and a generous dollop of tzatziki. Serve with the warm pita bread.
