Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • For a smoky flavor, use Woodfire Smoke and grill with the lid closed. Monitor the cooking time carefully to avoid overcooking; the pork is done at 145°F.
  • Whether you make the tzatziki from scratch or use store-bought, enhancing it with shallot, capers, dill, and parsley adds an extra layer of flavor to complement the Pork Souvlaki.
  • You can marinate the pork overnight and prepare the sauce in advance for an even quicker meal prep.
