For The Skewers:
- 750 grams (1.6 pounds) boneless pork neck cut into 2 cm cubes
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano + some extra for garnish
- olive oil to brush before grilling
- salt and pepper
For The Ladolemono Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
Add the meat, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to a bowl. Toss and mix to combine.
Marinate for 1 or up to 24 hours in the fridge. Take out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
Thread the meat on the wooden skewers. Don't leave spaces between the meat.
Pat dry the skewers to remove excess moisture from the meat.
Heat your grill or grill pan on high.
Drizzle the skewers with olive oil on all sides. Then season with salt and pepper.
Grill the Souvlaki for 8-10 minutes, flipping as necessary, to roast on all sides. But don't flip too soon or too often; allow them to char on one side first.
Prepare the Ladolemono while the Souvlaki is cooking. Whisk the lemon juice and olive oil until uniform. Or use a squeeze bottle and shake to combine both ingredients. Serve the Souvlaki straight from the grill, drizzled with Ladolemono and sprinkled with dried oregano.
