Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meat

    Cut the pork shoulder or chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Toss until all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Soak the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  4. 6

    Grill the Souvlaki

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare the Plate

    Warm the pita bread on the grill for a few minutes until soft.

  2. 8

    Serve the Souvlaki

    Remove the skewers from the grill. Serve the meat with warmed pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and fresh vegetables on the side.
