Chicken Souvlaki platter |
You can cook the kababs in a BBQ or a griddle pan. If you are using wooden skewers don't forget to soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. Make a good quantity of Greek seasoning (recipe here) beforehand, as this will be used for all the recipes in this platter. Bon Appétit or should I say Καλό ταξίδι.
