Souvlaki spice mix - 50g

Ingredients: oregano, paprika, thyme, cumin, garlic, salt, black pepper.

Souvlaki is a popular Greek dish consisting of marinated meat skewers. Keep some of this seasoning mix on hand for times when you want to whip up a few skewers.

1. To prepare marinade, combine 1 tbsp seasoning mix, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil in a heavy zip-lock plastic bag. Add cubed meat (pork, lamb or chicken) and squeeze bag to coat meat with marinade. Seal bag and place on a plate. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, for up to 24 hours.
2. Soak bamboo skewers in hot water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat natural gas barbecue on medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
3. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade. Thread meat onto soaked skewers.
4. Grill souvlaki skewers until meat is done.
