Pork Souvlaki
Prep Time: 10 Minutes (Overnight for more flavour)
Cooking Time: 12/16 Minutes
In my late teens / early twenties I went interrailing around Europe. Then taking ferries and sleeping on roof tops and camping on the beach. I survived on little money a two mile walk into town was rewarded with a pork souvlaki in pitta, washed down with a cold beer from the local shop. This is served with Tzatziki, chilli sauce, parsley salad and pitta bread. If you want to cut down on the prep time, you can buy pitta bread and the Tzatziki. See my other recipes for accompaniment’s that complement this simple dish.
