A simple cooking method of skewering and grilling meat, believed to date back to ancient Greece. Pork, chicken, and sometimes lamb are marinated in lemon and oregano before grilling over charcoal. Wrapped in pita bread with tomato, onion, and tzatziki as "gyropita" is the classic street food style. The fragrant smell of souvlaki grilling drifts from every corner of Athens.
Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Mix lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, and grated garlic to make the marinade.
Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes.
Thread onto skewers and grill both sides on a grill or in a pan until golden.
Once cooked through, it's done.
Wrap in pita bread with vegetables and tzatziki if desired.
