What is souvlaki<\/h2>\n

Souvlaki (pronounced soo-vlah-kee) is a popular Greek food that translates to \u201csmall pieces of meat grilled on a skewer\u201d. Souvlaki are the most popular item appearing on every Greek restaurant menu since they\u2019re flavourful, moist and ever so hard to resist.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made these delicious souvlaki skewers loaded with classic Greek flavours so many times for family, friends and neighbours. The chicken comes grilled in many forms, but somehow when it\u2019s skewered on a stick with genuine Greek flavours, it always seems so much more exciting to everyone. I always get rave reviews and everyone comes back for more. I\u2019ve always kept this recipe a secret but now it\u2019s time for me to share it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The secret revealed in two parts<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The souvlaki is made with a simple marinad<\/strong>e containing \u201cthe holy trinity\u201d of Greek flavours. This refers to olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and garlic. Just simple, fresh and flavourful ingredients.<\/li>\n
  2. The grilled souvlaki are garnished with grilled lemon juice<\/strong>. Grilling lemons loosens and releases their juices and adds a subtle smoky flavour to the juice. The flavour makes these souvlakis extra special and tasty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
