Pork Souvlaki Skewer Gyros
Today we are embracing some Greek food, and making some Gyros! Instead of making a meatloaf or chicken, I wanted to do some pork, and the results are incredible! Pork Souvlaki has a ton of herbs and flavor, and doing it on a smoker adds in another flavor profile that really brings it all together! Top it off with some fresh tomatos, a warm pita, raw red onion, and my home-made Tzatziki, and this is a fantastic meal! I am cooking this on my Grilla Pellet Smoker, but the methodology will work on any smoker! Lets get started...
