• 600g pork shoulder, in 3cm cubes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• salt, pepper
• pita and lemon to serve

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Mix the oil, lemon, oregano, garlic and seasoning, and turn the pork through it. Marinate at least 2 hrs, ideally overnight.
2. Thread onto skewers, leaving a little gap between cubes so they cook rather than steam.
3. Grill or barbecue over high heat, 10–12 min, turning every 2–3 min.
4. Pork shoulder is the cut — loin will be dry and you will blame the recipe.
5. Rest 5 min off the heat.
6. Warm the pita in the same pan to pick up the fat. Squeeze more lemon on at the table.
