Method

  1. Combine yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, vinegar and spices in a bowl Add pork tenderloin and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, place wooden skewers in a tray of water. (Skip this step if you are using metal skewers.) Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine additional yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, mint, dill, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine the tzatziki.
  4. When the pork is done marinating, thread onto the soaked skewers and place on a plate.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  6. Place kebabs on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until pork is slightly charred and barely pink in the middle, about 8 minutes.
  7. Remove from the grill onto a serving platter and tent loosely with foil to rest for about 5 minutes.
