Video Recipe: Pork Souvlaki






I've eaten hundreds of pork souvlakis in my life, but I never thought about making one at home until I saw Anthos chef Mike Psilakis make one in this exclusive to Serious Eats video. They turn out to be easy to make and perfect for a backyard dinner party. - Ed Levine
