Grilled Greek Souvlaki with Figs

An original Greek dish — try it. Souvlaki is a kind of Greek kebabs. Unlike Caucasian ones, they are fried not on long skewers, but on short skewers. If you have wooden skewers, do not forget to put them in cold water for 30 minutes in advance. Firstly, after soaking they will not burn, and secondly, pieces of food will not stick to them. Easy and Simple! Fast and Simple! However, as always!
