GREEK ISLANDS PORK KABOBS

Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers

1 lb boneless pork loin, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp dried oregano and dried thyme
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp black pepper, ground
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 pita bread loaves, halved

Stir together the lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, thyme, garlic, black pepper, salt and red pepper. Place pork cubes in a self-sealing bag; pour lemon marinade over pork cubes, seal bag and refrigerate overnight. Remove pork cubes from marinade and discard marinade; thread pork onto skewers (if using bamboo skewers, soak in water for an hour to prevent burning). Broil or grill for a total of 10 to 12 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Serve pork cubes in or alongside pita bread, topping with Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce. Serves 4.

Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce: Peel, seed and dice one large cucumber. Let cubes drain on a piece of paper toweling for 10 minutes. Mix cucumber cubes with 1 8-oz carton plain yogurt, 1/2 tsp seasoned salt, 1/2 tsp crushed cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp black pepper and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate until serving time.
