Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large Red onion, chopped into large chunks
• 2 medium Bell peppers, chopped into large chunks
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh oregano, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables by chopping the red onion and bell peppers into large chunks.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated pork, red onion, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between each ingredient.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 8

Serve skewers hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the cooked pork souvlaki.

Step 9

Enjoy your low sodium pork souvlaki with a side of fresh salad or whole-grain pita bread for a complete meal.
