Beloved pork kebabs alias souvlaki! They taste even better when you
prepare them yourself, using top quality ingredients you keep in your
fridge! Perfect choice for a Sunday gathering or any time.
Ingredients
- 700g pork leg, in bite-sized portions
- 1 teacup of home or ready-made mayonnaise
- 2 red onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon of freshly ground pepper
- some parsley, finely chopped
- 8 wooden skewers
- 1 large dried onion
- 2 coloured bell-peppers
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 6 large yellow potatoes
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
Place the mayonnaise, onion slices, parsley and freshly ground pepper in
a bowl. Combine them with a spoon, add the meat and give it a good
toss. Cover with cling foil, put in the fridge and leave to marinate for
2h or, better still, for a whole day, turning everything a few times
during that period. Then peel the onion, cut it into 4 and then halve
each to end up with 8 pieces. Halve and deseed the peppers, halve them
again and then cut each half into 4. Finally halve the cherry tomatoes.
Now assemble the kebabs by sliding an onion on to a skewer, followed by
some meat, a tomato, pepper and onion. Keep alternating the ingredients
finishing off with a vegetable. When ready place all kebabs on a large
serving plate and season with salt and pepper. Grill them for 3-4
minutes on each side. They usually take 12-15 minutes to cook through.
For the roast potatoes: Peel, rinse and cut each potato into 6. Place
them in a casserole, cover them with water, bring to the boil and cook
them for 15 minutes. Poke them with a fork to check if they are ready.
In the meantime preheat the oven to 250ºC. Empty the water from the
casserole and give it a good shake so that the potatoes break into
irregular pieces. Array them on a baking tray, drizzle them with olive
oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle them with oregano and give
them a good toss. Roast them for 30-35 minutes until golden brown,
crispy on the outside and mellow on the inside.
