@@PetraKann No Petra. I’ve been watching Christine since her Food Network shows. I’ve tried many of her recipes...Lasagna Bolognese anyone? I just know from past experience it will be delicious. Is that enough integrity for you?

All the local Greek restaurants seem to use pork loin nowadays. In years past the fattier souvlaki was so much tastier. I'll be looking for a shoulder chop. I love that you slather so much tzatziki on your pita
Your grilled souvlaki looks so delicious and I would love to be there to try out one you made, Christine. I have missed seeing your videos each week and is glad to see you back here again and making delicious dishes.
Chef Christine, thank you for being the first chef I've seen rinse their knife after using the steel. I grew up in Greektown in TO and was sad that the Taste of the Danforth was cancelled this summer. But you've now taught us how to make all the components for a delicious souvlaki! 😋
I guess that since Greece has many neighbors who are Moslem and don't eat pork, the Greek version of pork souflaki is on its own, but it's tastier than the chicken version. Thank you Christina.
That is great. Food is definitely a window into a culture and there’s so much to Greece , even I have learned so much more than I thought was there ( and I was born there ). Thanks for watching
I would like your cooking very much, I would try to cook this dish on weekends Thanks for sharing my family like the Greeks bake potatos they love it so much that you share
*today's unintended bonus* : I finally learned how to pronounce *tzatziki* !! it's one of those words I've always seen written, but never heard everyone say (I won't burden you with how I thought it was pronounced!! haha!)
Hello Christine, I made this tonight and it was outstanding!!! I think I rolled my pita a bit too thin, still good Will totally make this whole thing again! Practise on the pita thickness and all will be right in the world! Been watching you for many years and your food is always da bomb! Thank you so much
Υοu are an amazing lady in all the ways! I love your channel! I love that you spread around the world our traditional recipes! I send you all my love from Greece! ❤❤❤
Hi Christine - Since last week I have been searching for Greek oregano and since you said it was "non-negotiable" yesterday I found it at a Greek grocery store and last night I finally made it but left out the fries and all I can say it's AMAZING!!! I could taste all the ingredients, the meat was tender and full of flavour and it had a freshness to it (I am guessing from the lemon rind & juice) and it was finger-lickin' good!!! Thank you for another great recipe, I will definitely make this again and again :)
Please do not take this as a criticism.. But as an American with Croatian/Bohemian roots, I have never really been able to "get" the whole grilled meat in a pita with cold dairy sauce on it.. (Somehow, I always need gravy.. or at least au jus!) But.. I would so do this recipe with the skewered pork (is pork tenderloin OK?) with grilled peppers and mushrooms on a bed of rice with pita on the side.. (I've had it this way and it is delish) I may try this over the weekend! Thank you! Always love your videos.. and they have been so welcome throughout the quarantine!
Many thanks and no criticism taken. It's just the way it is : grilled meat + tzatziki ! You could definitely make it with tenderloin, just make sure you cook it medium or it will be drier. Let me know how it works.
I remember the pita always had some type of spice on it. Can you tell me what it is? I'm enjoying all your Greek recipes and look forward to making them.
Been on my way to Greece for two months - but no movement due to Covid. This recipe made me suffer - thinking about going to the παραλία in Agia Triada near Thessaloniki and have a Souvlaki ... and maybe an ouzo or two afterwards in one of the bars. I better start baking pitas and make some souvlaki for the family! Thanks for a great show as always!
Oh I'm so glad it took you to Greece, although I'm sorry to make you suffer :) I was also suffering , so I decided I had to shoot this video. STay well and thanks for watching
love your version, I always add lemon juice to the marinade but I am going to do it your way from now on. It makes so much sense. I admit that I take a shortcut and skip skewering my meat and just do it directly on the grill. I know it isn't right but I don't notice a flavour difference and it's a bit of a time save. There is nothing like a souvlaki sandwich at a taverna terrace in Greece late at night while the stray cats come and try to beg you for your food.
Missed you, but glad your back! Haven't been to Greece, but this souvlaki reminds me more of a kebab (much better in my humble opinion),than the type that is on a spit type device, which is way over cooked for my taste. Looks great, however I'm sorry you can't make the beach in Greece for now. Really enjoy the way you cook,Thank you!
Great memorable dish, for any of your upcoming food videos, show us another memorable dish that you've learned to make at École De Cuisine La Varenne because I enjoy seeing you cooking dishes from memory lane.
It would be the only way to really tell the difference. The tenderloin is super lean so there is very little room for error and it would have to be cooked medium / medium well at most. The shoulder also has more flavour. Thanks for watching
@@ChristineCushing Both were amazing. The family was split between tenderloin and shoulder. Though for myself I think the shoulder was more flavorful and was soft enough.
Christine, I just want to say, that this souvlaki is awesome!! I've been to the paralia a number of times since this was posted ;) Ive even introduced it to my parents and they have made it a number times as well. Only change I made was to use chicken thighs in place of the pork. Question, Ive always been under the impression that pork shoulder is fairly tough, and needs a low and slow cook to tenderize. Does cutting it in small chunks like this allow it to be tender? Thanks again for the recipe! Time to go through your vids to see what I want to make next!
I LOVE it ! Glad you all have been to the Paralia several times. Pork shoulder , when cut from the part closer to the neck ( often called butt) can also be grilled ( as per video) . The rest of shoulder is quite a big cut and mostly suitable for slow braising / cooking to soften the tougher / sinew etc. I hope this helps. You have to try it with pork ( butt ) !
Hi! I just discovered your channel and loved your Greek recipes. I see that you have no avgolemono though and that's a shame! How about making yuvarlakia avgolemono next? That would get you a few thousand more subs for sure!
Awesome vid. Missed you. Glad youre well. We are headed into winter. How about more soups (not necessarily greek) and easy breads? I also have trouble with boring winter sides...can you jazz some up for us?
Pork is the king? How does lamb figure into the local Greek cuisine (in Greece)? I visit Europe and ALWAYS go to Greek restaurants and it seems that lamb is King.
Yes I agree with Antonis below . I also said in video when it comes to souvlaki Pork is king. We often have grilled lamb chops in the villages but never souvlaki. Thanks for watching
I’ve learned so much from you channel - thank you. You’ve taught us great techniques for both proteins and starches - do have some clever things we could do for veggies? How can we make the bland/dull exciting? Thank you in advance.
Yes, you can definitely marinate the meat overnight ( I purposely leave out the lemon juice so it's cool ) . The flavour will be that much better. I hope you try and love it.
@@ChristineCushing Thanks, I did and it was delicious! I was concerned that the meat won't be tender, I know the same cut from beef or lamb needs to be braised but the pork turned out perfect. Due to the weather outside I had to replace bbq grill with cast iron frying pan and it worked just fine. Love your channel!
I love your videos, Christine, but 'non-negotiable' Greek oregano isn't available everywhere. That being the case, I guess regular oregano will do? I hope so, because that's what I'm using. :-)
Well being Greek I tend to stress and exaggerate ( LOL) of course I’d you don’t have Greek oregano whatever yiu can find is better than none. If you ever have a chance to find it in a store it’s worth the purchase. Thank you
Thanks Christine, I live in Greek Town Danforth. I love the chicken souvlaki. Can I use the same recipe? Also, can I grill on the stove or oven? Thanks!
Yes you can definitely make this on a grill pan on the stove top, so the meat cooks at a high heat , similar to the grill. You could also put it on a pan and bake at 400 D oven . Opa ! I think you will love it. Let' s see how it compares to the Danforth experience.
That’s a good question. It would be great to add to some leaner ground pork to make sausages or pate ( old School I know ) but also Chinese dumplings or just render it and use to season a cast iron pan. I hope this helps.
In Greece that's not how they make the meet , is completely different and taste way better then regular stake u using, this is do what u can with what u have
In my experience Greek. Is always lamb none of my Greek friends have given me pork in this dish maybe an Australian Greek thing but any way l will ask them what is going on 🌹
In Greece souvlaki is generally pork , in some cases chicken. In the Peloponnese it is pork for sure. I have never seen lamb souvlaki in Greece. I guess different parts of the diaspora have adopted recipes from their local country. I hope this helps. Thank you
I'm british, live in usa. Been to Greece loads of times. Was NEVER EVER served lamb. Only pork. Since I moved to usa, can ONLY get lamb. I always thought lamb was a Turkish thing. Doner kebabs. But the pork souvlaki wins every time for me. But yeah, usa didn't get the pork message either it seems 😕
Yes, you can use pork tenderloin. In that case, make sure to cook it just to medium or it will be dry. Also be careful of what's called " seasoned" tenderloin, which is brined. You'll want to reduce the salt. I hope this helps.
@@ChristineCushing I knew that was the one you were gonna say because I saw it on your website. I don't blame you cause It's a very good one and the picture looks fun and relaxing.
Kalamaki (καλαμάκι) means straw, the thing you use to drink frappe, souvlaki (σουβλάκι) means small skewer. Bu people in Athens, erroneously, call it kalamaki. Nobody in Pelloponisos, Macedonia, or the islands calls it kalamaki.
Yes it’s true but kalami also means cane , like bamboo and so Kalamaki is also a skewer is what I learned. But thank you for punting out that they use that mostly in Athens .
Why is it whenever I watch a Christine Cushing video I hit the like button BEFORE I WATCH THE VIDEO!!! Another great recipe!!!

Pork, olive oil, lemon & oregano…sublimely delicious combination. Thank you gorgeous lady
Hi Christine! We are making this as I type.
If this nails souvlaki you are my hero for life!
The Greek Goddess of cooking!
Recipe looks delicious but I love the splash of the waves 🌊 at the end of the video 😊
Yes ! So glad you picked up on that details. And the souvlaki is also worth trying. Thank you !
always reminds me of Greek summers, swimming and eating delicious Greek food, souvlaki is on top of the list👍
You just cannot beat it !
I've missed you! And Greece. 😘
Thank you ! I'm glad to be back shooting more videos.
Absolutely yummy. Omg. Love the waves rolling in sound at your beach.
Love your cooking.
Thanks so much. I’m glad you picked up on the wave audio touch.
All the local Greek restaurants seem to use pork loin nowadays. In years past the fattier souvlaki was so much tastier. I'll be looking for a shoulder chop. I love that you slather so much tzatziki on your pita
Thank you ! Yes the pork loin is much meatier but drier , so I wanted to do it justice here. 😎
You nailed it! Therefore I nailed it. My hero for life!
Yes ! Isn’t it just the best ? I was pretty pumped when I felt like I hit the bullseye . Thank you
Christine your videos are so clear and informative l love watching you cook and have been a big fan of yours forever!!
Thank you so much !

Chef Christine, thank you for being the first chef I've seen rinse their knife after using the steel.
I grew up in Greektown in TO and was sad that the Taste of the Danforth was cancelled this summer. But you've now taught us how to make all the components for a delicious souvlaki! 😋
Thank you ! Yes, the Taste of the Danforth is always such a great event. I hope you will try and love my recipe for souvlaki. Be well.
I guess that since Greece has many neighbors who are Moslem and don't eat pork, the Greek version of pork souflaki is on its own, but it's tastier than the chicken version. Thank you Christina.
My mouth is already watering!!! OMG it has to be delicious 😋😋👩🏼🍳👩🏼🍳 I will give a try this weekend!! Thanks for sharing
You have to try it and let me know !
You have awakened in me a great curiosity to know Greece! I will surely prepare this recipe.
