Greek Souvlaki Recipe With Ladolemono ( Pork Skewers With Lemon Dressing)

Greek Souvlaki with Ladolemono features marinated pork neck cut into small cubes, threaded onto wooden skewers, and grilled. The marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper imparts a bright and aromatic flavor to the pork. The dish is served with a ladolemono dressing—a creamy blend of lemon juice and olive oil—drizzled over the grilled skewers for a fresh citrus finish.

Ingredients

For The Skewers:
  • 700 grams pork neck boneless
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano plus some extra for garnish, dried
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • 8 wooden skewers
For The Ladolemono Dressing:
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • olive oil

Instructions

For The Skewers:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the meat into small 2cm x 2cm square pieces. About 1 cm thick.
  2. Thread the meat on wooden skewers. Once you're done, add the skewers in a small baking pan or food storage box.
  3. Pour the lemon juice and olive oil. Add the oregano and a bit of pepper and mix well. Flip the skewers a few times for the marinade to spread evenly.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours or overnight for an even stronger flavor.
  5. Grill the meat for 10-15 minutes turning them every now and then.
For The Ladolemono Dressing:
  1. In a dressing container (one that you can shake and comes with a small hole), add the lemon juice and ⅔ of olive oil.
  2. Shake the container until a creamy dressing forms and pour over the souvlakis, right as they come out of the grill.
  3. Serve with a sprinkle of oregano on top.

Notes

  • When grilling, avoid placing wooden skewers directly over high flames to prevent burning.
  • If you lack a dressing container, an empty water bottle with a small hole in the cap can be used to shake the ladolemono dressing until creamy.
