Who this list is for
This list is for home cooks preparing Greek-style pork souvlaki skewers for six people, especially those who want a straightforward, meat-focused meal. If you’re handling the grilling and want to keep things simple—just skewers, no sides—this checklist is made for you.
How to use this list
Start by checking your supplies against the list before shopping. You’ll need three pounds of boneless pork shoulder, three lemons, five garlic cloves, extra-virgin olive oil, dried oregano, red wine vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, two red onions, and twelve metal skewers. Shop for what you don’t have, then use the list again as you prep: cut pork into cubes, slice onions, and prepare your marinade. Thread the ingredients onto the skewers and have everything ready before you light the grill.
What to skip
Don’t substitute pork shoulder with leaner cuts—shoulder stays juicy on the grill. Avoid using wooden skewers unless you soak them thoroughly, but metal skewers are preferred here. Skip adding pita or salad if you want to keep the meal focused on the skewers. Don’t forget to season generously; under-seasoned pork can taste flat.
What is on this list

Before you grill
Cube the pork shoulder and marinate it with the lemon, garlic, oil, oregano, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Slice the red onions for threading. Assemble skewers ahead of time so you can go straight to the grill. Bring the full list outside with you, along with grilling tools. After grilling, let the skewers rest a few minutes before serving.
