Souvlaki
2 lbs beef or lamb cut into 1" cubes (I use lamb)
12 cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. oregano
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
6 Tbs. Olive oil
2 medium onions, quatered
2 medium green peppers, cut into 1" pieces
12 fresh mushrooms
4 Tbs. Lemon juice
salt to taste
skewers
This recipe takes two days. On the first day, prepare the meat and marinate.
On the second day, prepare the veggies and cook.
Place meat in a bowl. In a small bowl, combine black pepper, garlic and
oregano and sprinkle mixture over meat. Mix well to coat.
In a blender, combine lemon juice and olive oil and blend. Pour over
meat, cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, brush onions and green pepper with olive oil and sprinkle
with salt and pepper to taste. Thread meat and veggies, alternating, on
to skewers. Barbecue on grill, being careful not to overcook. Use
remaining marinate to bush on while cooking. Before serving, sprinkle
with salt and fresh lemon juice.
Tzatziki
The secret to this is to remove all the liquid possible from the
cucumbers. Olive oil can be used to cut the garlic taste. This also makes
a great appetizer with bread for dipping.
1 16oz. container of sour cream
2 medium to large cucumbers
6 small cloves of garlic, finely minced (or less)
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil (Optional)
Peel cucumbers and cut into quaters. Using a spoon, remove all seeds and
discard them.
Grate cucumbers to on medium sized grater. Taking small amounts of grated
cucumbers, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Continue until all
cucumber is squeezed.
Lay out a double-layer of paper towels on the counter. Place grated
cucumber on one end, and fold other end over. Press down. Flip paper
towels over and press again. When paper towel becomes wet, replace with
fresh paper towels, and repeat process until virtually all liquid has been
removed.
Remove cucumber from paper towel and place in a bowl. Peel garlic and cut
off hard end. Chop garlic until finely minced, then add to cucumber.
Open sour cream. Using lid as a holder, drain off excess liquid and add
to cucumber and garlic. Mix and add salt and oil until smooth and
blended. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
