Marinated souvlaki

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Tender meat (pork, veal, beef or lamb, or boned chicken or innards or fish fillet)
3 ounces Onion, sliced
1 ounce Carrot, sliced
1 ounce Celery
2 Garlic clove; crushed
1 pinch Thyme
1 pinch Rosemary
1 pinch Coriander
4 pinches Or,gano
2 pinches Cloves
4 pinches Black pepper
1 Bay leaf
Parsley; chopped
Zest of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons Salt
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
3 ounces Olive oil
4 ounces Wine, white

Directions

Cut the meat into small cubes. In a bowl, preferably earthenware, mix the marinade ingredients well and add the meat, mix again, cover and leave to marinate for 24 to 48 hours. (He doesn't say to refrigerate but I would certainly do so. For the curious, the recipe actually calls for marinating in a *kioupi* or earthenware storage jar rather than a bowl. This would probably keep the ingredients cooler.) When ready to cook, thread the meat on 18 to 24 skewers.

Grill over embers of vine branches (!). Serve hot.
