Souvlaki literally means “meat on a stick” and is made with chunks of marinated meat. It is generally served with
Tzatziki, in a pita as “fast food” or as part of a meal with Greek Potatoes or Rice. We always have
Hummus with
Tzatziki, another Mediterranean and Middle Eastern side dish. A gyro (pronounced close to hero, only more like “yero”, is meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie; then shaved off and eaten in a pita with pretty much the same accompaniments. This very simple marinade works well with chicken, pork or lamb.
