Souvlaki With Tzaziki Recipe
Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
SOUVLAKI
2 lbs: Lamb shoulder, -OR- Sirloin tip;cut in 1 1/2" chunks
2 cup: Red wine, dry
2: Garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp: Oregano, dried
2 tsp: Lemon rind, long strips up to 3 tsp
1/4 cup: Olive oil Sweet peppers and cherry tomatoes as needed,
TZAZIKI
2 cup: Yogurt, pain
1/2: Cucumber, English,peeled & grated
2: Garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp: Olive oil,
1 tsp: -salt,
Directions:
"Begin preparing the tzazik a few hours before serving. The flavours
need time to blend. Marinate the meat overnight to absorb the wine
and garlic." SOUVLAKI: Place the meat in a large bowl. Pour in the
wine and sprinkle minced garlic and oregano. Imbed the lemon strips
among the cubes of meat and drizzle with olive oil. Cover tightly
with plastic wrap and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight. Shake or
stir the mixture several times during the marination period.
About 30 minutes before serving, drain off and discard the marinade.
Thread the chunks of meat onto long skewers, brushing with a little
olive oil. (We usually BBQ the peppers and tomatoes on separate
skewers but its really up to the chef.)
Over medium coals, barbeque the souvlaki until its done the way
you like it. Serve on a bed of rice and pass the tzaziki to spoon on
top. SERVES 4-6 TZAZIKI: Line a colander or sieve with cheesecloth
(or gauze) and set it over a bowl. Pour in the yogurt and allow it to
drip for an hour or so. After the yogurt has drained, combine it, in
a small bowl, with the cucumber and the garlic. Cover the bowl
tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until just before serving.
While the meat is BBQing, drizzle the olive oil over the surface, and
without stirring, sprinkle on the salt. It needs no mixing - your
guest will do that when they dollop it onto their souvlaki. MAKES:
About 3 cups
