Greek Kababs

Submitted by emmalee1942

"My original recipe contains all the Greek flavors I love. Because I am now cooking for just one I always cut the recipe in half and use my indoor grill pan. (I add 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke to the marinade when I grill indoors.. The second serving goes well when with a vegetable medley, or it gets served on, or with, a Greek-type salad. Prep time includes marinating time."
