lean pork or lamb cubes
cane skewers
salt
pepper
lemon
oregano
FOR METHOD TWO:
lemon juice
olive oil
crushed garlic
fresh tomato wedges
onion slices
Tzatziki recipe
dry white wine
fresh pita bread
Instructions:
Method 1: (Quick and easy) Thread the meat lengthwise on 8" round
or flat cane (bamboo) skewers. Grill over hot coals or griddle until
thoroughly cooked, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and dip quickly
into lemon juice. Crush oregano over the meat. Method 2: (Takes longer,
tastes better) Make up a marinade of lemon juice and good quality
olive oil, oregano and/or thyme, pepper, crushed garlic and maybe
a little dry white wine. Marinate the meat overnight, then grill until
just cooked, not dry. Eat as is, straight from the skewers, or remove
meat and serve in pita bread pockets, with tomato wedges, onion slices,
and Tzatziki, with salt and additional freshly ground black pepper.
----- We use flat pita, kind of like a tortilla. Brush with olive
oil and grill on both sides until warm. I like mine crisp so I grill
a little longer. Place the meat, onion, tomato and tzatziki on the
pita and fold it over. Don't know if you've got this type of pita
where you are.
