Tips
Buy a good cut of pork with plenty of fat and alternate the fatty pieces between more lean cuts of meat as this will allow the meat to self-baste during cooking and you will end up with delicious crispy bits
For best results, obviously we highly recommend cooking using our fantastic motorised Traditional Cyprus charcoal barbecues!
Hi, can you advise why my souvlaki kebabs are always tough please?
I buy good quality pork neck end pork.
Is it because I cook too high heat or is it something else?
Thanks
