- This very easy to follow video shows you how to make traditional souvlaki at home!!! Aka Greek street meat, this is what you will find in all the local grill houses throughout Greece and yes, in every Greek town around the world. Deliciously marinated in classic lemon, olive oil and oregano, this pork souvlaki recipe will bring back memories of your time in the motherland LOL
And just in case you don't like pork??? Feel free to substitute with chicken, beef or lamb.... the marinade works great with all of the above.

If ever a guy can literally make you feel like you are his best friend thru a video, this guy does it!
I agree!
Genaro Contaldo but Ken Panagopoulos is also great, just saying. 😁
He is stopping that music bro.
RIP my Greek friend, your videos will ensure you will never be forgotten 😢
To be blunt the negative comments are u tube trolls, troublemakers, and competing channel owners.
Keep up the great work👍
Ken died 2 years ago
Nailed it!. I was stationed on US Air Force Base on Crete for 8 years. I was in Greece last summer for 3 weeks.
Rest in Peace Ken.. Im sure going to miss our talks and sharing family History's. You touched many many Lives in the best way possible.
I miss him so much. He had such a bright personality could have easily got his own food network show. He was a beautiful soul.
😢😢😢 R. I. P.
Wait. With great respect did Ken pass away?????
@@alicekapolas3210 Yes He did sadly.. I was friends with him on twitter for Years. talked to him every day. then one day he stopped Posting so i reached out and then a family member posted on facebook he had passed away. Im sure going to miss him.
Im gutted if he did❤️
I'm so glad I found your channel! I was born in Athens and adopted at 3 months. My adopted mom's whole side of the family is from Crete and my grandmother had a house in Sissi. They also had Land in Vrahassi with olive trees and I remember my aunt and mom always bringing home those giant metal containers with olive oil in them. We used to go every summer
Thank you so much Anne and thank you for sharing your story…. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Aww man..so glad I've found your channel. My soul lives in Greece. A no nonsense guide to the best food. Thank you so much for sharing.
I just wanted you to know that, since my favorite local Greek restaurant just closed recently and I decided to start learning how to cook this stuff on my own, I just tried your recipe and was amazed at how well this came out. Thank you so much for doing this video, and I'll be looking through your library for other great recipes to try!
Amazing recipe! Made it several times already and everyone loves them! Served with pita bread. ❤
Best Greek people ever. Love Greece
Finally! A real souvlaki recipe and no-nonsense, yet entertaining demonstration. Thanks, Ken. Can't wait to try it.
Thank YOU James for your kind words!!!! Very much appreciated. Good luck and let me know how it turns out....
Cheers,
Ken🇨🇦
One of the best recipes I’ve found authentic Greek souvlaki. The tip on brushing towards the end with oil and lemon. Pure gold!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your voice is heavenly Ken! i could listen to you for hours.
Thanks very much for your kind words Paulina!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have been taught to use wood cutting boards because the wood has natural enzymes that kill bacteria. Plastic can get cuts in it that hold bacteria even after washing..
But, his pork looks delicious anyway. Can't wait to try it.
Watching again. When I travel to Greece my first night going outside to eat is at a taverna,sitting out side and ordering souvlakia. Love it.
Awesome!!! 👍👍👍
I made this a couple of days ago. Followed the recipe to a T. It was so good I was eating them out of the refrigerator cold. Will definitely make them again. DELICIOUS AND EASY!!! THANKS!
I secretly watch you so I can wow my Greek fiance with meals from home🥰 you have made me VERY popular with his family. Thank you ❤
Haha awesome!!! My work here is done…. 👍👍👍
I will be making this weekend. Thank you for the recipe!
My father is from Athens and used to make souvlaki at family BBQs. Got so many memories coming back to me from watching this. My favorite Greek food.
🙏🙏🙏
Bravo Ken...you truly are an inspiration to us all and without doubt, God kissed your fingers. Your passion for cooking is addictive and when we cook following your fabulous tips, the family goes crazy for food by Ken. Yasou from Sydney Australia.
Thank you so much Anne!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Your kind words are really appreciated. Much love to beautiful Sydney....
Thanks a lot for your recipe, Ken!! I've been trying for ages to get my souvlakis right and thanks to you I've finally succeeded. It was delicious!! Greetings from Flanders, Belgium

Thanks, your video reminded me of grilling with my Family & Friends in Italy (I'm in Canada now, and can't go back for Summer holidays - thanks covid!)
Your description of your time at the BBQ actually brought some tears to my eyes - that's exactly how I feel when I'm out there! "Happy, sad, mad, or glad", that's where I like to be!
Thank YOU for sharing!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 God bless and keep us all.... 🙏🏼❤️💪✌️
Thank you for the tutorial Sir, much appreciated.
Hello from Cyprus.. It looks very delicious.. with ouzo :)
Great food from a nice person .. thank you for the reciepe .. love for Greece
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
RIP Ken. I will surely miss you videos. Thank you.
I was in the Air Force in Greece for almost 3 years back in the 1960s. The souvlaki I used to have and enjoy, was from a little wheeled cart. They were cut much smaller that those made here. The skewers were about 8 inches long. The key is that they are grilled over charcoal. Do not use a gas grill.
The souvlaki was then put on to a 6 inch grilled pitta with chopped onlion and tomatoes and a sprinkle of salt. Then cam the magic, when the olive oil and lemon was put right on the prepared souvlaki.. Delicious! I lived on those things.
I remember the small place I used to eat at in Glyfada back in the middle 70's called Mackies.....He would serve mine with Tzatziki and pita....I could eat those all day long...........I just loved them....
Maki’s May. It be there anymore BUT there are a few other really good places....
@@KensGreekTable His place was close to the base, and we could get there and bring it back for dinner pretty quickly. I agree with you about other places. I didn't have any meals that weren't good....I can't think of any Greek food dish that I didn't absolutely love...
Hard to have a bad Greek meal Steve....
My father was in the army and we were stationed at Hellenikon Air Base near Athens for 3 years. We ate Souvlaki at least 2x a week. My father would bring home what I felt like was a ton on the sticks, and he liked what we called Souvlaki pancakes (on Pita Bread). We ate that food like there was no tomorrow. That was back in 1980-1983. Man what great memories and culture. I loved Easter and the cracking of the eggs.
Looks so good ! I always make my pork with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper next time i will add oregano :) Greetings from Iraqi kitchen :)
Hello Iraqi kitchen!!!! Great to hear from you:-)) Keep cooking....
Cheers,
Ken🇨🇦
@mikedoesseo Yes I am :)
Thanks Ken, you made it simple and easy. I made souvlaki for the first time and my family loved it!
You’re very welcome Dale!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Μπράβο ρε Ken! Good job indeed. If only I was there to share in the pork joy. I'm sure a cold bottle of Mythos would be recommended too. I've just subscribed to your channel and I'm enjoying what you do. Great enthusiasm and love of Greek food. The best food in the world!
Thank you so much Maz and welcome!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow! How I loved this dish. Thanks to the loving taxi driver who took us to an authentic Greek joint and we simply enjoyed the dish with him as our guest! God bless him wherever he may be. Watching your explanation made me feel so nice with your instruction. Although I don’t have a grill like yours, I will make it in my oven! Thanks a lot! Hope to receive some more wonderful recipe with your lovely explanations!
Thank you so much Lourdes!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Very clear and enthusiastic explanation and instructions. I am so glad I found this site. Thank you.
Thank you.... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Definitely trying this for the 4th! Thank you for sharing!
We tried your recipe and my wife and I love it. Thanks a lot.
Thank you…. 🙏🙏🙏
Heavenly!!!
Ken, Thanks for reproducing that authentic street food flavor. I enjoyed this video. Να είσαι καλά
Thanks very much George!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks Ken - great tips! And worked out really well tonight on my gas bbq grill. A little dry, but I was being over cautious not to undercook...
Hey Brandon, thank you for your comment and kind words!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 No biggie at all. Practice makes perfect. But when it comes to pork, better to overlook a bit than undercook IMHO....
So nice to watch and enjoy an easy guy cooking what he loves. Thanks for sharing.😋
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Fantastic. Making this tomorrow
Thank you for your info and great video. Love and respect from England UK ❤
Great video. Thank you! I am making this over the weekend!

I just came across your channel. this is a great time to be cooking Greek foods.
Fantastic video Ken. Really looking forward to making Souvlaki with your recipe. Also looking forward to sharing the Souvlaki with family and friends. Thanks Ken.
Thank you John for your comment and kind words!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Very much appreciated. Good luck with the recipe and let me know how it turns out.... 👍💪✌️🙌
I'll definitely let you know. Thanks again Ken.
My mouth is watering Ken!
In '76 I was staying with friends in Voula and went to Glayfada almost daily. There was a little open. air market and that's where I had Souvlaki for the first time and I love it. In one of the restaurants I used to go to I was mesmerised by the whole chickens roasting on a rotating spit in a glass oven and the aroma of lemon & herbs was amazing - we had nothing like that at home. Thank you for sharing your recipes, you have a new follower. Best wishes from 🏴
Thank you so much Lynn and welcome!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I love hearing stories like yours. Unfortunately because of the current situation here in Greece, I will not have the amazing opportunity to stay in Glyfada because most hotels are still closed here. Oh well, I’ll hopefully be back in a couple of months....
My first time was on the train from Athens to corfu. In 81.
Real lamb though.
I do it all the time now.
This is authentic Souvlaki, no matter what other people say! PERIOD 💛
Yeah!!!! 😂😂😂 Thanks very much Osmone.... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing bro!
i lived in Montreal back in the mid-seventies, there was a Greek souvlaki place called The Golden Corner or in French Au Coin Dore, they had the BEST juiciest, most flavorful souvlakis in the world!
Sadly Margaret, those types of places are becoming a thing of the past...
@@KensGreekTable yes, very sad. i lived in Canada from 1969 to 1977 and the Greek food was just sublime! I don't have a grill, so I'll have to improvise. Your recipes looks fabulous!
Am I happy of discovering your channel! Thanks!
Thank you so much Lucio and welcome!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@KensGreekTable lol ..
Wreeeeooosss! Good job im gonna make some ! I want to try to make kontosouvli, instead of waiting for the next time we go back to greece! Americanos are into smoking, they have no clue what they missing in kontosouvli.
Love this guy without even meeting him lol!!
Loved your video. Having been a butcher in my youth, I can tell you this, wood cutting boards are fine as long as they are cleaned well. Wood has a natural tendency to release bacteria from it's surface when cleaned. It does not stick on. As for marinating, Not more than an hour or so in the lemon juice, the acid in the juice will start to cook the meat ending up making it tougher.
👍👍👍
i like adding lemon zest or dill into this marinade, souvlaki is amazing
Or Greek yogurt.😏
100%!!! 👍💪🙌✌️
Hi Ken, fantastic video and superb explanation. You’re really dedicated in this! I‘ll do this with chicken today. Greetings from germany!!
