I make my Souvlaki the same way except I don't use thyme or vinegar and I add some minced onion to the marinade! I like to slice my pork into thin slabs and marinate them overnight! I always serve it with homemade tzatziki sauce! Great recipe Cat!

I had souvlaki me pita in Greece many many years ago, where it is available as street food. I loved it. Thank you very much Cat, for giving a recipe to make at home. Memory can play tricks on the mind, but I swear these are every bit as good as the ones I had in Lamia.
