Souvlaki Marinade and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken or pork, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tzatziki

    In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  3. 3

    Grill the Meat

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and skewer if desired. Grill the meat for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Warm the Pita

    While the meat is grilling, warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled meat with warm pita bread and a generous side of tzatziki sauce. Garnish with additional diced cucumbers and fresh dill if desired.
