Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Prepare the souvlaki: In a large zip-top plastic bag, combine the shallot, garlic, oregano, jalapeño, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add the pork to the bag, turn it over to coat, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

    Soak 12-16 wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the honey-infused apricots: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the lemon juice, wine, honey, and shallots to a simmer. Add the apricots and cook until the mixture reaches a syrupy consistency, about 12 minutes.
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and thread 2 pieces onto each skewer. Grill until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.

    Add mint and pine nuts to the dried apricot mixture. Serve the souvlaki with a dollop of yogurt and the apricot mixture.
