- For the chicken and pork: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, oregano, salt, Aleppo pepper, black pepper and garlic.

AUTHENTIC PORK SOUVLAKI
I believe these pork skewers are as close as you'll get to the real Greek style Pork Souvlaki. My family just loves them. It will work just as good with chicken. If you do not have the time to marinate overnight, you can let them sit in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 hours and it will be just as good.

Tips:
- Use high-quality pork: The type of pork you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your souvlakia. Look for pork that is fresh, tender, and has a good amount of marbling.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is always a good choice.
- Cook the pork over medium heat: Cooking the pork over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. If you cook the pork over high heat, it will be more likely to burn on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork: The internal temperature of the pork should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit when it is cooked through. If the pork is not cooked to the proper temperature, it will be unsafe to eat.
- Serve the pork souvlakia with your favorite sides: Pork souvlakia can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, vegetables, or pita bread.
Conclusion:
Pork souvlakia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork souvlakia is cooked to perfection and full of flavor. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give pork souvlakia a try!
