Greek Souvlaki Cheat Sheet image

Steps:

  • Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, onion powder, oregano and garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, tomatoes and onion and toss to coat.
  • Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly spread the chicken mixture on it.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then add the pita around the edge of the baking sheet and bake until the chicken is cooked through, another 5 minutes. (If desired, you can also broil the mixture for a couple of minutes more for more color.)
  • Serve with the Tzatziki Dip.
  • Combine the yogurt, cucumber, vinegar, mint, salt and garlic in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
4 pitas, cut in half
Tzatziki Dip, recipe follows, for serving
1/2 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped peeled and seeded cucumber
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced fresh mint
Pinch kosher salt
1 small clove garlic, minced

SOUVLAKI

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.

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!
  • Enjoy our contribution to fast-food!
  • 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.

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

Pork souvlaki with Greek salad & rice image

Steps:

  • Mix the garlic with 2 tsp of the oil, the lemon zest and 1 tsp juice, lots of black pepper, and ½ tsp oregano in a large bowl. Tip in the pork and mix so the meat is well coated. Set aside to marinate for 30 mins if you have time.
  • Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the chopped onion, cover and cook for 5 mins, then remove the lid and stir in the rice, dried mint and bouillon. Pour in 300ml boiling water. Cover and cook for 30-35 mins until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Stir in the dill and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Meanwhile, heat the grill to high or light your barbecue. Thread the pork onto two skewers. Mix the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and olives in a bowl with the remaining oregano, vinegar, remaining oil and a squeeze of lemon. Pile onto plates and top with the feta.
  • Grill the souvlaki for about 4 mins each side until they are cooked, but still juicy. Serve with the salad and rice.

GREEK SOUVLAKI

This is posted in response to a request for "skewer" recipes. A real coincidence as this was being prepared on the food network by Nick Makris from Nick's Diner in Regina Sask - it looked SO GOOD I just had to post it. Use pork or lamb - serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.

  • In a bowl mix fresh herbs, onion slices, olive oil, vinegar, honey, and a pinch or two of salt and pepper. Place meat in a large pan and add the marinade. I like to massage the meat a little with the marinade mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and let it marinate from 3-4 hours to overnight in the fridge.
  • Cut the tomatoes into thin slices, add them to a medium bowl. Add the sliced onion, and the crumbled feta cheese. Season with sea salt to taste. Sprinkle some dried oregano. Drizzle olive oil and a tsp or so of red wine vinegar.
  • Add 2-3 tbs of olive oil to a cast-iron grilling pan or the pan of your choice. Let it heat up almost to the point of smoke. add the meat 2-3 slices at a time. You don't want to add more because the temperature will go down and the meat will boil instead of the grill.
  • On the same pan, you cooked your meat, clean it lightly with a paper towel, drizzle a little olive oil and grill the pitas to warm them up. This will allow them to get some of that charred, smoked flavor.

  • To prepare this chicken souvlaki recipe, start by preparing the marinade. Cut the chicken breasts into 2-3 cm pieces and place them in a large bowl, along with all the marinade ingredients. Use your hands to mix really well, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
  • In the meantime prepare the tzatziki sauce for the chicken souvlaki. Pour in a blender the olive oil and grated garlic and blend until combined. Remove the skin and the seeds of the cucumber and grate it into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and leave aside for 10 minutes. Wrap the grated cucumber in a towel and squeeze, in order to get rid of the excess water. In a bowl, add the cucumber, the blended garlic and oil, the yogurt, 1-2 tbsps of red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and blend, until the ingredients are combined. Store the tzatziki sauce in the fridge and always serve cold.
  • To assemble the chicken souvlaki (skewers), cut the wooden skewers to fit your griddle pan and soak them in water. (This will prevent them from burning.) Thread the chicken pieces, comfortably, on the skewers.
  • Preheat a grill or griddle pan on a high heat. Cook the chicken souvlaki (skewers) for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely coloured on all sides and cooked through.
