A Greek Pork Pita That Will Blow Everyone’s Mind

A Greek Pork Pita That Will Blow Everyone’s Mind

When I had my first greek pita I was hesitant as at that point in my life trying new foods was not something that interested me. Thankfully, after one bite I got over that real quick and now this is one of my favorite pitas.

INGREDIENTS

Greek Pork:

  • 3 pounds pork shoulder, fat trimmed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Pitas:

  • pitas
  • tzatziki
  • toppings of choice! like lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, feta, lemon, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place all ingredients for the pork in a slow cooker on low heat for 10-12 hours, OR in an Instant Pot on the meat/stew setting (about 45 minutes). Shred the meat and stir it around in all those juices. YUM.
  2. Assemble pitas!

Hints & Tips: 

I wrapped my pitas up (pita, pork, tomatoes) in foil and popped them in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes to get them soft and yummy. Then I dolloped them with tzatziki, parsley, feta, and lemon juice.

If you are giving this meal to someone, just pack up the meat in a freezer bag (either cooked or uncooked with instructions) and then toss in a bag of pitas, store-bought tzatziki (or homemade – go you!), a jar of sun dried tomatoes, a lemon, a bag of parsley, and a container of feta cheese. Easy!

There is no better way to spend an afternoon than with this delicious sandwich. For Additional nutrition facts check out our friends over at Pinch of Yum who have them listed all nice and neat for you.
