Notes
- It is best to marinate meat overnight but ½ day or 4 hours will do.
- If serving with Tzatziki, this can be prepared one day ahead. Tzatziki taste better the following day.
- Cooking on the grill or oven will render a delicious souvlaki.
- If you like a stronger lemony taste, add ½ cup instead ¼ cup lemon.
