Default Souvlaki - (souvlaki)

Souvlaki - (souvlaki)



Serves: 4 persons

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 kg (3-1/3 lbs) tender pork or beef
3 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon thyme
salt and pepper


Rinse the meat and bone and clear it of any hard gristle or muscle or fat.

Cube it in large portions (approximately 1in x 1/2in x 1/2in), season it and thread it on skewers. Pour the olive oil over the meat.

You can cook them under a hot grill for about 3 minutes on each side, basting them often and turning them once. The best results are achieved by barbecuing on charcoal. They take a little longer to cook, about 15 minutes, depending on the stength of the fire.

Before serving, pour over the cooked meat the lemon juice.

Serve with a greek salad
