My Attempt at Souvlakia

[Gonna Smoke]

So after seeing BandCollector 's thread about souvlakia, like others, I added it to my list... https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/Σουβλάκια-souvlakia-greek-shish-kebab.313825/

I used pork and have it marinating in the refrigerator overnight tonight for its date tomorrow with the grill. I followed John's recipe exactly...

But I have a question about the tomatoes, onions, etc. used in this picture...

How were these prepared? Were they marinated, grilled, etc.? Just seasoned? OK, that was 3 questions...

Vegetables were not marinated. Just cut up lettace onions and tomatoes. I added some fresh oregiano to mine

Good luck and enjoy,

Well I got it done yesterday afternoon and everyone loved it. This will stay on the list for sure. One thing that I did per a suggestion from my wife was to make Greek style potatoes. After looking at a couple of recipes online, I realized that the marinade for the meat would work pretty much as is. So instead of throwing it out, I peeled and cut up a few potatoes and tossed them in the marinade. In a baking dish into a 350℉ oven for about hour or so until they were tender stirring occasionally...

Thank you BandCollector for the recipe...

Time to eat...

Wow Charles, you nailed it buddy. Beautiful job my friend. I love the idea of the potatoes but as much as I love that is the addition of the kalamata olives (at least I assume they are kalamatas). Brilliant idea.

No question that John ( BandCollector ) posted a true winner with this one. Several people have made it and every one has raved. Can't argue with success like that

Thank you, Robert. Sharp eye there my friend, yes those are Kalamata olives and were my wife's idea. This is a keeper recipe for me and since several have posted their successes with it, I only posted about the potatoes which were also my wife's idea...
