SOUVLAKI

Souvlaki image

This is the way I do souvlaki or shish kebab - and I mean the sandwich with pita bread you can find on nearly every street corner in Greece, not just the skewered meat. This is the best! Prep time does not include marinating time. OAMC instructions provided.

Time 1h

Yield 8 souvlaki, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut up into 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch cubes (or the meat of your choice)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (not traditional, but I like the flavour it adds)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (I use a whole dried one, crumbled)
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 lemon, juice of
1 (8 count) package greek pita bread
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 large tomatoes, sliced thin
1 cup tzatziki (Tzatziki)
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

To marinate meat: Cut tenderloin into bite-size chunks and put into a Tupperware with remaining marinade ingredients.
Swish everything around to distribute, put in fridge and forget for a day (this long marination is not absolutely necessary- but longer means more flavour. If you haven't the time, just do what you can).
When ready to BBQ, skewer meat onto metal or wooden skewers (remember to soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 1/2 an hour first) and bbq until the meat is nicely brown all over, and you know you can't possibly wait any longer to eat.
To prepare the fixings: As you are barbecuing the meat, brush as many pita breads as there are souvlaki generously with olive oil and put on the bbq to crisp slightly or alternatively, into a hot frying pan, and cook about 30-45 seconds per side or until starting to brown and give off a yummy,'toasty' smell.
Here is the 'technique' part.
Have cut some squares of foil a bit larger than the pita breads.
Put a square in the palm of your hand and lay a pita in the centre sitting in your flat palm.
Take a skewer of meat and place in center of pita.
Squeeze palm shut around meat to get a grip with the pita and pull out skewer, leaving meat inside the bread.
Open up your palm slightly, making the pita gape open and throw in some onion, slices of tomato, a good dollop of tzatziki, some parsley, along with a healthy shake of salt.
Roll sandwich up by squeezing palm again (gently this time as the salad stuff is inside) and enclosing neatly with the foil, giving a twist on the bottom so no yummy juices drip out onto your clothes as you are eating this!

You will never settle for a Big Mac again!
To freeze: Place meat and marinade in a freezer bag or rigid freezer container.
To serve: Thaw in fridge overnight and proceed with cooking directions.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill leaves
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds split chicken breast, bone and skin removed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 small cucumber, diced
2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill leaves
1 (8-ounce) container plain yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons hot sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1-pound bag) refrigerator pizza dough, at room temperature
Flour
5 large romaine leaves, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 medium onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

Chicken:
In large bowl whisk together all the souvlaki ingredients, except the chicken. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons for Round 2 Recipe Greek Flat Bread. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the pan. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
In a medium bowl combine all the tzatziki sauce ingredients and set aside.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a floured work surface, roll out each portion into 6 to 7 inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick.
Preheat a grill pan or grill over medium heat.
Grill the dough for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The pitas should be cooked through but still pliable and not too crispy.
To Assemble:
Put a grilled pita onto a plate, top with some cooked chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion and some tzatziki sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients and arrange on a serving platter.
