- 1/3 cup Salt
- 2 tbsp Ground Black Pepper
- 3 tbsp Fresh Greek Oregano Leaves
- 2 1/2 tbsp Salted Butter
- 1/4 cup Riesling (or other similiar medium-dry wine)
- 8 oz Greek Cream Cheese (or regular, if you can't find Greek)
- 1 cup Grated/Shredded Cucumber
- 3 tbsp Fresh Mint Leaves
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 pinch Ground Black Pepper
- 20 Pitas
- 5 Romaine Leaves
- 5 Roma Tomatoes
- 1/2 Vidalia Onion
- Place roast in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour salt and pepper over all sides and coat thoroughly.
- Cover container and leave in refrigerator for 24-48 hours.
- Preheat grill to high.
- Place roast on grill, close lid, and grill 5 minutes on both sides or until black grill marks have formed.
- Remove roast from the grill and add to slow cooker.
- Pour Riesling over the top of the roast.
- Sprinkle with oregano leaves and spoon dollops of butter on top, as well.
- Set on low and cook for 6 hours.
- Meanwhile, add Greek cream cheese to a small mixing bowl.
- Use a mandolin or grater to grate/shred 1 cup of cucumber.
- DO NOT squeeze moisture from cucumber; the moisture will loosen up the cream cheese to make it more of a dressing.
- Chiffonade mint leaves into very thin strips.
- Add mint and the remainder of sauce ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Remove pork from slow cooker and remove bone(s) from roast.
- Chop/shred into bite size pieces.
- Season additionally with salt if needed.
- Chop romaine lettuce and dice Roma tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Slice vidalia onion into as thin of slices as you can manage.
- For each serving, take a pita and cut in half.
- If you have pitas that are airy inside and form pockets, place desired amount of lettuce in the bottom, followed by shredded pork.
- Then drizzle cucumber mint sauce over top and garnish with tomatoes/onion.
- If your pitas don't have pockets, simply put ingredients in the middle like a taco.
