AKROTIRI: CYPRIOT PORK SOUVLAKI WITH TZATZIKI
This recipe is from week three of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I'm attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Akrotiri is my third stop. Akrotiri was a tough one because it is basically an RAF base on the island of Cyprus, so the food is heavily influenced by the British people who live and work there. Pork souvlaki is a kind of Cypriot fast food, cooked on skewers and served in a hot pita. It is topped with a blend of cucumber and Greek yogurt called tzatziki.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST SOUVLAKI IN CYPRUS - OUR 10 TIPS TO
From cyprusalive.com
- First the fire. You don’t want any flames – they’ll result in a greasy black coating to your meat, ideally you don’t even want your charcoal to be red-hot; fat will drip onto the embers and they will burst into flame.
- Your Souvlaki can be pork, lamb or chicken. Greeks in different regions focus on different meats, Corfu favours veal or beef. Here, in Cyprus, Pork is the most common.
- Now there is Souvla and Souvlaki (little Souvla) - ‘aki’ at the end of the word is a diminutive in Greek. Souvla those large chunks of barbecued meat are best prepared on a large barbecue, probably larger than the one that will be installed in your villa; it will also more easily be prepared with a mechanism for revolving the spit.
- Though not essential, it is a good idea to marinate your meat overnight. Use a bottle of cheap white wine (the acid tenderises the meat and opting for white wine avoids darkening the meat), half a cup of olive oil, the juice of a lemon, three or four bay leaves, a few sprigs of rosemary, oregano or dried basil and pepper.
- Before skewering your meat the next day, slice up a large onion and a few green peppers. When you skewer, periodically interleave with the meat two or three slices of onion and of green peppers – also two or three bay leaves.
