Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed, 3/4-inch diced
1 red onion, cut in 1/2-inch wedges through the root end
1 large Holland yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut in 1/2-inch strips
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons), plus extra
Good olive oil
3 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane zester
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh oregano leaves
2 teaspoons roughly chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 warmed pita breads, for serving
Radish Tzatziki, for serving (recipe follows)
Julienned fresh mint leaves, for serving
6 medium radishes, scrubbed and trimmed
2 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane zester
1 1/4 cups plain whole milk Greek yogurt (10 ounces)
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
2 1/2 tablespoons julienned fresh mint leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Combine the pork, red onion, bell pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, garlic, oregano, rosemary, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a large (1-gallon) plastic storage bag. Press out the air, seal, and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
Preheat one very large (14-inch) or two medium (10-inch) dry cast-iron skillets over high heat for 3 minutes. Add the pork and vegetables, including the marinade, spread out, and cook without stirring for 3 minutes. Continue to cook over high heat for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through but still slightly pink in the middle. Don't overcook the pork or it will be dry!
Place 1 warmed pita on each plate. Spoon the pork and vegetables on one half of the pita and place 2 rounded tablespoons of Radish Tzatziki on the other half. Sprinkle with mint, lemon juice, and salt and serve hot.
Grate the radishes on a box grater. Place the radishes in a paper towel and squeeze out the liquid. In a medium bowl, combine the radishes, garlic, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, scallions, mint, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 12 hours.

AUTHENTIC GREEK TZATZIKI

Authentic Greek Tzatziki image

This is a lovely, cool, refreshing Greek tzatziki dip that I first tasted and fell in love with in the Greek Islands. It is lovely with hot toasted pita bread and veggies or lamb kebabs! The key is strain the liquid from the cucumber very well so the dip stays creamy and not watery and to always use thick, full-fat Greek yogurt. Low-fat versions won't cut it. Enjoy!
