About
Inspired by the Greek dish, Souvlaki with Tzatziki, we'll just call it Greek kebabs with cucumber sauce. You'll love the flavor that the lemon and herbs impart on the meat.
Traditionally, Souvlaki was made with lamb. Early Greek immigrants found lamb to be too expensive in America and therefore began using lesser priced pork.
Throughout the various regions of the Mediterranean, you'll encounter several versions of Souvlaki. Some use goat, lamb and pork. This recipe uses chicken.
Should you choose to use another meat besides chicken, follow the same recipe. Just adjust your cooking time accordingly.
