Kittencal's Greek Souvlaki (Grilled Skewered Lamb or Pork) image

There are many recipe out there for slovlaki, this is one I have been making for years and is a personal favorite, this can be made using lamb or pork, the secret to the marinade is the little extra bit of honey and the seasoned salt ;-) traditional Greek souvlaki is not threaded with veggies, but I like to add them on the skewers, you have the option of using them or not. Serve the lamb with toasted pitas and tzatzika sauce if desired please see my recipe#157176. Plan ahead the lamb needs to marinade overnight. You can also make these in the oven under the broiler, using metal skewers ONLY in place of wooden, turning occasionally. The vegetable amounts listed are only esimated you can use as many as desired on the skewers.
