Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 min.

2. 2

   Trim off any thick seams of fat from the pork and cut it into even 2.5 cm (1 in) cubes.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Add the pork and toss with your hands until every cube is coated. Cover and chill for 1-4 hours.

5. 5

   Thread 5-6 cubes onto each skewer, pushing them close together.

6. 6

   Heat a charcoal grill or a ridged grill pan to medium-high.

7. 7

   Grill the skewers, turning every 2-3 min, until browned all over with charred edges, 10-12 min. The center of the thickest cube should read 63 °C (145 °F) inside.

8. 8

   Move the skewers to a plate and rest them for 3 min. Scatter over a little more oregano.

9. 9

   Warm the pita on the grill for about 30 seconds a side.

10. 10

    Serve the skewers with the pita, tomatoes, red onion and lemon wedges for squeezing.
