Nothing captures the essence of Greek cuisine quite like the vibrant flavors of pork souvlaki, marinated in a zesty blend of lemon and oregano, then grilled to perfection. This dish is a celebration of simplicity and taste, offering a delightful escape to the Mediterranean with every bite.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs of pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
• A generous splash of extra virgin olive oil
• The juice of 2 large lemons

• 2 tbsp of dried oregano
• 1 tsp of salt
• A pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the pork cubes with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Tip: Let the pork marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.

Greek pork and lemon roasted potatoes

This dish marries the robust flavors of Greek cuisine with the comforting simplicity of roasted potatoes, creating a meal that’s both hearty and refreshingly tangy.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into chunks
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• a couple of garlic cloves, minced
• a splash of water
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• salt and pepper, to season

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting.
2. In a large bowl, combine the pork chunks, quartered potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Toss everything together until well coated. Tip: Letting the mixture sit for 10 minutes before roasting enhances the flavors.
3. Transfer the mixture to a roasting pan, arranging the pork and potatoes in a single layer for even cooking. Add a splash of water to the pan to keep the dish moist.
4. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are golden and crispy. Tip: Halfway through, give everything a gentle stir to ensure even browning.
5. Season with salt and pepper right before serving to bring out the dish’s vibrant flavors. Tip: For an extra zing, drizzle with a bit more fresh lemon juice after roasting.

Juicy and tender, the pork pairs beautifully with the crispy, lemony potatoes, offering a delightful contrast in textures. Serve this dish with a side of Greek salad or tzatziki sauce for a complete Mediterranean feast.
