Ingredients
  

  • 800 g pork tenderloin
  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 200 ml chicken broth
  • 4 flatbreads
  • 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley optional
  • Tzatziki sauce optional

Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Chef's knife
  • Heatproof mixing bowl
  • Large serving platter
  • Griddle for flatbreads

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Toss the pork cubes in this mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
  2. Place the marinated pork in a slow cooker, and add the chicken broth. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulled apart. You can check its doneness by shredding a piece; it should fall apart with ease.
  4. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, warm the flatbreads in a griddle or oven until soft and fluffy.
  5. Once cooked, let the souvlaki rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  6. Serve the souvlaki on a large platter, topped with fresh parsley, alongside flatbreads and lemon wedges. You can also offer tzatziki as a refreshing dip.

Notes

For a twist on the traditional, feel free to substitute the pork with chicken or beef based on your preference. Don’t hesitate to get creative with your sides; grilled vegetables or a refreshing Greek salad can also brighten up the plate. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stove. Enjoy this culinary journey to Athens!
