Method

1
Cut the pork into 2.5 cm (1 in) cubes. Toss them with the oil, oregano, minced garlic, salt and the juice of half the lemon, then chill for 15 minutes.
-
2
Dice the cucumber and stir it into the yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. Thread the pork onto metal skewers and throw away the leftover marinade.
-
3
Heat a lightly oiled grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers, turning as they brown, until the biggest pieces reach 63°C (145°F), about 8 to 12 minutes.
-

Let the pork rest for 3 minutes. Serve with the cucumber yogurt and wedges cut from any remaining lemon.
