Souvlaki is a traditional preparation from Greek cuisine consisting of small pieces of marinated meat, skewered on a stick, and grilled. Its origin dates back to ancient Greece, where this simple and delicious method of cooking meat was common among soldiers and peasants. In Latin America, although it is not called exactly the same, there are similar variants such as anticuchos in Peru or churrascos in other countries, which share the essence of marinated and grilled meat on skewers. In each place, the ingredients and seasonings reflect the local identity, but the spirit of sharing a tasty and simple meal unites these culinary traditions.
In some countries, such as Mexico or Argentina, it could be compared to brochettes or skewers, while in Central America, similar dishes have their own names according to regional customs. This adaptation of a Greek classic in Latin America demonstrates the cultural fusion that enriches gastronomy and turns it into a space for exchange and creativity.
