Name: Easy pork souvlaki
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 400g diced pork topside; 2 tbsp olive oil; 2 garlic cloves, crushed; 1 tsp ground cumin; 1 lemon, zested and remaining lemon quartered, to serve; 4 flatbreads or wholemeal pitta breads; 2 tbsp chopped dill, plus extra sprigs to serve; 2 tbsp chopped mint, plus extra leaves to serve; ½ cucumber, halved, deseeded and finely chopped; 150g Greek style yogurt

Method

If using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 20 minutes to prevent scorching.
In a bowl, toss the pork cubes with the olive oil, crushed garlic,cuminandlemon zest. Season well, then thread snugly onto 4 large skewers. Set aside on a large baking sheet for 5 minutes.
To make the tzatziki, combine the choppeddilland mint with the cucumber and yogurt in a bowl.
Put a griddle pan over a high heat or preheat the grill to medium-high. When the pan is smoking-hot or the grill is up to temperature, griddle or grill the skewers, turning only once marked or browned and continuing to cook until cooked through with no pink meat remaining. This will take about 6-8 minutes.
Set the skewers aside, loosely covered with foil to keep warm. Griddle or grill the flatbreads or pitta breads until warm. Serve one skewer per person on a warm flatbread with a generous spoonful of tzatziki, the remaining herb sprigs and leaves and a lemon quarter to squeeze over.
