Souvlaki

A staple Greek dish perfect for a barbecue.

This is a lovely meaty dish that you can serve as a main course. With summer at its peak, you enjoy this dish on straight from the grill during a barbecue for example.

Marinade

  • (extra virgin) olive oil
  • Oregano
  • Sweet paprika powder
  • Thyme (optional)
  • Bay leaves
  • Juice from a lemon
  • LOTS OF GARLIC
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chicken (cubed, which you’ll marinate)

Cooking plan

  • Mince the garlic. You should use enough that you can smell it. I used 8 cloves (slightly more than a bulb) per kilo last time.
  • Mix everything into a ziplock bag or marinating bowl.
  • Stir in the chicken, and let it sit for an hour or preferably two (not for too long! The lemon will slowly cook the chicken, lessening its taste after a certain amount of time)
  • Skewer the chicken (or cook it in a skillet if you want). You can grill the skewers on a barbecue.

ENJOY!
