Directions

1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the pork and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours, turning once.

2. In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients, then refrigerate.

3. Heat grill to medium-high. Remove pork from the marinade, and divide among skewers. Grill 3 minutes per side, or until just cooked through.

4. Brush flatbreads with olive oil, and grill until just warmed through. Slather with yogurt sauce, and serve with two pork skewers and lemon wedges.
