Souvlaki - chicken, pork or lamb
Souvlaki are typically small pieces of meat, cooked on skewers on a barbecue over coals. They would be served with some salad in a pitta bread, why not have a go at making them too, they're really easy.These are simple recipes and you can even make them easier with a pre bought rub like Angus & Oinks, Big Phat Greek.In Greece the meat is usually cooked well done. You can make up your own mind though depending on the cut of meat you are using.
Method
- Cut your pork shoulder into 2.5cm cubes.
- Skin and debone your chicken thighs and cut them into 6 pieces.
- Thread your meat onto your skewers so they are reasonably tightly packed.
- Sprinkle the skewers with the oregano, salt and ground cumin (or your shop-bought rub).
- Mount them onto your spit.
- Set up your Egg for a direct cook at 200°C using the LetzQ Spit.
- Cook your skewers until the chicken is above 74°C, high 80°C's is better though with these tougher cuts.
- Once cooked serve drizzled with some tzatziki, and sprinkled with mint leaves and chopped chilli.
- Squeeze over some lemon juice.
