Souvlaki
Souvlaki is a popular Greek dish that consists of small pieces of meat, typically lamb, chicken, or pork, that are skewered and grilled. The meat is often marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before being grilled, which helps to tenderize the meat and give it flavor.
Souvlaki has its origins in ancient Greece, where it was a popular street food. The word “souvlaki” comes from the Greek word for “skewer,” and the dish was originally made with lamb. Today, chicken and pork are also popular choices for souvlaki, and the skewered meat is often served with pita bread, onion, tomato, and tzatziki sauce.
Souvlaki is a quick and easy dish to prepare, and it can be served as a main course or as an appetizer. It is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and it is a popular choice for outdoor gatherings and picnics.
