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
- 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.
- 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!
