Ingredients
Pork
- 600g pork shoulder or pork loin, thinly sliced
- 1½ tbsp Greek Odyssey seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 4–6 pitta breads
- ½ cucumber, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- Tzatziki
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Preparation
Gather all of your ingredients before you start cooking.
Marinate the Pork
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and Greek Odyssey seasoning.
Add sliced pork and coat evenly.
Marinate for at least 1 hour, ideally 3–4 hours.
Cook (Oven Method)
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Spread pork evenly on a lined tray.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through.
BBQ Method
Preheat BBQ to medium-high.
Thread pork onto skewers or cook directly on grill.
Cook for 10–15 minutes, turning regularly until cooked through.
Slice and Assemble
Rest pork for 5 minutes.
Slice thinly if needed.
Warm pitta breads.
Fill with pork, salad and tzatziki.
What to Look For at the Finish
The pork should be lightly charred at the edges with visible caramelisation. The inside should remain tender and juicy, not dry. Internal temperature should reach 70°C. The seasoning should create visible herb flecks across the surface.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with lemon wedges and Greek salad. Add feta for extra richness. Also works sliced over rice bowls with olives and pickled red onion.
