Place meat in large container ( not aluminum ); pour marinade over meat & stir. Marinate overnite or up to 2 days. Soak bamboo skewers well in water. Place 3 or 4 cubes of marinated meat on each skewer. Grill over charcoal until done to your liking (Medium rare to Medium well for Lamb;Well done for pork.) --Don't overcook or you will dry out the meat. If serving for a large party & you don't want to be grilling at the last minute,earlier in the day grill to rare & then dip in marinate & arrange in a baking dish. Cover and bake to finish cooking to desired doneness just before serving. This is another recipe from Cecile Tenery Deriman's " Our Greek Family Cookbook,March 1991" CeCE's pal,John
