Preparation:
Thread the pork lengthwise on 8" round or flat cane (bamboo) skewers. Grill over hot coals or griddle until thoroughly cooked, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and dip quickly into lemon juice. Crush oregano over the meat.

Method 2: Our family makes up a marinade of lemon juice and good quality olive oil, oregano and/or thyme, pepper, crushed garlic and maybe a little dry white wine. Marinate the pork overnight, then grill until just cooked, not dry. Eat as is, straight from the skewers, or remove meat and serve in pita bread pockets, with tomato wedges, onion slices, and Tzatziki, passing salt and additional freshly ground black pepper. |
