The ingredients for Souvlaki marinade are:

1 unwaxed lemon
2-4 cloves of garlic, depending on whether you love garlic or really love garlic
1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
1/2 tablespoon Oregano
Salt
Pepper

Meat of your choice cut into cubes - I've used this with chicken and salmon, but it would also work with pork or shrimp. I haven't tried a veggie version yet, but if I did, I think mushrooms would work best.

Here is how you make Souvlaki marinade:

Peel your garlic cloves and mince finely (I find my mini food processor works best). Grate the zest off your lemon. The best tool for this is the smaller-holed part of a basic cheese grater. You should end up with a couple of tablespoons of zest. combine the minced garlic and lemon zest. add the juice from the lemon, the olive oil, and the oregano, salt and pepper. Combine well, or process a little if you are using a food processor.put your cubed meat or veg in a container with a lid. Pour the marinade over the top and shake it up. Refrigerate for 3 hours up to a full day. The marinated meat can be either grilled or baked in the over, cooking time depending on what it is.
