    I have been taught to use wood cutting boards because the wood has natural enzymes that kill bacteria. Plastic can get cuts in it that hold bacteria even after washing..
    But, his pork looks delicious anyway. Can't wait to try it.

    I'm so glad I found your channel! I was born in Athens and adopted at 3 months. My adopted mom's whole side of the family is from Crete and my grandmother had a house in Sissi. They also had Land in Vrahassi with olive trees and I remember my aunt and mom always bringing home those giant metal containers with olive oil in them. We used to go every summer

    I was in the Air Force in Greece for almost 3 years back in the 1960s. The souvlaki I used to have and enjoy, was from a little wheeled cart. They were cut much smaller that those made here. The skewers were about 8 inches long. The key is that they are grilled over charcoal. Do not use a gas grill.
    The souvlaki was then put on to a 6 inch grilled pitta with chopped onlion and tomatoes and a sprinkle of salt. Then cam the magic, when the olive oil and lemon was put right on the prepared souvlaki.. Delicious! I lived on those things.

      My father was in the army and we were stationed at Hellenikon Air Base near Athens for 3 years. We ate Souvlaki at least 2x a week. My father would bring home what I felt like was a ton on the sticks, and he liked what we called Souvlaki pancakes (on Pita Bread). We ate that food like there was no tomorrow. That was back in 1980-1983. Man what great memories and culture. I loved Easter and the cracking of the eggs.

    Loved your video. Having been a butcher in my youth, I can tell you this, wood cutting boards are fine as long as they are cleaned well. Wood has a natural tendency to release bacteria from it's surface when cleaned. It does not stick on. As for marinating, Not more than an hour or so in the lemon juice, the acid in the juice will start to cook the meat ending up making it tougher.

    In '76 I was staying with friends in Voula and went to Glayfada almost daily. There was a little open. air market and that's where I had Souvlaki for the first time and I love it. In one of the restaurants I used to go to I was mesmerised by the whole chickens roasting on a rotating spit in a glass oven and the aroma of lemon & herbs was amazing - we had nothing like that at home.

I'm gonna try this recipe first chance I get and make a gyro that is as close to what I remember from those days.

      I was in Athens last year. All the veggies tasted so much better than here in the US. Had Pork Souvlaki most days while there. It is so good. Try with the Greek Village salad. Hint, if you can find it get Greek imported Feta instead of domestic. You won't regret it. I like Dodoni.

      "Simple, no nonsense." It's an incredibly easy recipe with barely any ingredients and the video is nearly 14 minutes long!

    Seeing you smell the smoke reminds me of the old chef at his pita restaurant in Retymno (Crete) he took pride making his pitas and they also tasted like that
    For 22 years each summer that’s all I rate when going out for a walk
    I miss the smells a lot even when they make their own wood charcoal

  • @peterrak9554
    @peterrak9554 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bravo agori mou, I like to cube it small but I like to pick every other cube with a nice layer of fat. When that fat melts and grills that just adds another layer of flavor to the souvlaki. I also add orange juice to my marinade..
