Method

Souvlaki Marinating

This is really easy.
Whisk all your marinade ingredients together in a glass bowl and add the meat, mixing well.
Cover with cling and leave to marinate for at least three hours, overnight is ideal.
Thread the meat onto the wooden skewers - you should have about 4 pieces per skewer.
Now grill ony way you prefer - charcoal is great, or gas.
Grill until well browned on all sides and serve with our tzatziki fresh salad and pitta bread.
