Introduction
A delicious, Greek-inspired meal featuring tender marinated pork skewers grilled to perfection, served alongside a bright, flavorful lemon rice, a fresh chunky veggie salad, and a quick homemade tzatziki sauce.
Step 1
Prepare the lemon rice liquid: mix 2 cups of water with the squeeze of half a lemon, 1 teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder, and a small drizzle of olive oil.
Step 2
Pour the liquid into a saucepan, add 1 cup of rinsed long-grain white rice, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Make the pork marinade by mixing dry white wine, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and grated garlic in a measuring cup.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the cubed pork loin in a small container to ensure the meat is mostly submerged. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (ideally 6 hours).
Step 5
Cut a lemon into wedges. Assemble the skewers by threading a lemon wedge onto a metal skewer, followed by the marinated pork cubes, leaving a bit of space between them.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Rinsing the white rice beforehand removes excess starch, resulting in a much fluffier texture.
Using a small, snug container for marinating helps ensure all the meat stays submerged and flavorful.
If using bamboo skewers instead of metal, soak them in water for several hours beforehand to prevent burning on the grill.
Be sure to squeeze as much excess liquid out of the shredded cucumber as possible to prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.
