Authentic Pork Souvlaki

"I believe these pork skewers are as close as you'll get to the real Greek style Pork Souvlaki. My family just loves them. It will work just as good with chicken. If you do not have the time to marinate overnight, you can let them sit in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 hours and it will be just as good."

  1. This is really delicious. I never really enjoyed souvlaki in restaurants before. My DH loves it so I thought I would make this for him. To my surprise it was soooo good. I have made it three times so far, even my 4yr old loves it. We serve it with rice and tzatziki sauce and a side greek salad. YUMMY!

Originally from the Lake District in the UK now living in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. I live her with my husband and 2 children, one 5 year old girl and 3 year old boy. Always seemed to have a passion for cooking and have a library full of cook books and magazines. Think I have every issue of Food and Wine since it came out in 1995, but I just can not seem to throw them out!! I only post tried and tested (by my family and dear friends) recipes, so if my kids will eat it I guess anybody would!!
