KITTENCAL'S GREEK SOUVLAKI (GRILLED SKEWERED LAMB OR PORK)



Kittencal's Greek Souvlaki (Grilled Skewered Lamb or Pork) image

There are many recipe out there for slovlaki, this is one I have been making for years and is a personal favorite, this can be made using lamb or pork, the secret to the marinade is the little extra bit of honey and the seasoned salt ;-) traditional Greek souvlaki is not threaded with veggies, but I like to add them on the skewers, you have the option of using them or not. Serve the lamb with toasted pitas and tzatzika sauce if desired please see my recipe#157176. Plan ahead the lamb needs to marinade overnight. You can also make these in the oven under the broiler, using metal skewers ONLY in place of wooden, turning occasionally. The vegetable amounts listed are only esimated you can use as many as desired on the skewers.

KITTENCAL'S GREEK MARINATED TOMATO, OLIVE AND FETA SALAD



Kittencal's Greek Marinated Tomato, Olive and Feta Salad image

If you love Greek salads you will love this, it's an absolute must made with garden ripe tomatoes! I use the dressing from my recipe#66596 but you may use your own favorite dressing, the cucumber is only optional I like to add some in, plan ahead this salad must be chilled at least 3 hours before serving or up to 6 hours. Serve this salad with crusty bread on the side to dip into the juice, you may also serve the tomatoes with juice on a bed of lettuce.

Time 3h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons Greek salad dressing
3/4 cup feta cheese (broken into small pieces, do not crumble finely)
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
6 large roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 small cucumber (peeled, seeds removed and chopped) (optional)
3/4 cup kalamata olive (pitted and sliced or use similar brined olives)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced (or to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
salt (optional)
crusty bread (to serve on the side)

Steps:

  • In a large glass bowl stir together the dressing with parsley.
  • Add in feta pieces and all remaining ingredients (except black pepper, salt and bread) toss to combine and season with black pepper------ (don't be tempted to add in more than the stated amount of dressing as the tomatoes will release more juice when chilled, you just might find your salad swimming in too much liquid!).
  • Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours or up to 6 hours.
  • Serve with crust bread.

Kittencal's Easy Marinade for Grilled Chicken image

If you are in a hurry and want a great marinade for chicken this is it! marinade for about 6-8 hours, no longer than 8 hours as the vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken.... I find that Kraft Italian is the best for this and by the sounds of it this marinade works on beef too so you might want to give that a try!

1/4 cup vegetable oil or 1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste, the more the better I say!)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix all ingredients together until well blended.
  • Add in chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.

KITTENCAL'S MARINADE FOR GRILLED STEAK



Kittencal's Marinade for Grilled Steak image

This marinade will produce the most tender and not to mention the best tasting steak and it's enough for up to four steaks about 1-1/2-inches thick --- just remember to bring the steaks to almost room temperature before grilling this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender juicy steak --- the amounts may be doubled but keep the garlic at the same amount, for best results it is recommended to not substitute any ingredients, do not add any salt to the marinade and do not salt the meat until ready to grill --- this marinade may be used for any cut of steaks.

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup oil (can use olive oil or vegetable oil)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
