Cooking Times:

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp lite olive oil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp rosemary
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
• 2 cups plain fat-free yogurt
• 1 1/2 cups chopped green onion
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions:

1. Marinade Preparation: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, oregano, black pepper, rosemary, and minced garlic cloves, whisking until well blended.

2. Marinating the Pork: Place the cubed pork in a non-metallic container and pour the prepared marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Yogurt Dipping Sauce: In another bowl, mix together the plain low-fat yogurt, plain fat-free yogurt, chopped green onions, fresh parsley, and diced tomatoes. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to serve with the kebabs.

4. Skewering the Meat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Thread the marinated pork onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece. Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil, and baste them with the remaining marinade.

5. Cooking the Kebabs: If preparing appetizers, lay the marinated pork cubes on a foil-lined cookie sheet (not skewered) and pour any remaining marinade over them. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes until cooked through.

6. Grilling/Baking: Alternatively, if cooking as main course servings, you may BBQ or grill the skewers in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). Baste the skewers several times with the marinade while cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.

7. Serving: Once cooked to perfection, serve the No Lackie Souvlaki with the prepared yogurt sauce on the side, allowing guests to drizzle it over their portions as desired. For the appetizers, skewer the meat cubes with toothpicks and serve alongside the yogurt dipping sauce for a delightful finger food option.

Whether you’re hosting a casual weeknight dinner or entertaining guests for a special occasion, this No Lackie Souvlaki recipe is sure to impress with its tantalizing flavors and easy preparation.
