No ratings yet
Souvlaki are typically small pieces of meat, cooked on skewers on a barbecue over coals. They would be served with some salad in a pitta bread, why not have a go at making them too, they're really easy.
These are simple recipes and you can even make them easier with a pre bought rub like Angus & Oinks, Big Phat Greek.
In Greece the meat is usually cooked well done. You can make up your own mind though depending on the cut of meat you are using.
