Recipe View Once cooked, remove the Souvlaki skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. (5 minutes)

For best results, marinate the pork for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate deeply.
Soaking wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
Serve the Souvlaki hot off the grill with a side of rice pilaf, Greek salad, or warm pita bread and tzatziki sauce.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms.
