Greek souvlaki kebabs
Ingredients:
- 4 Large Pita Breads
- 6-8 beef kebabs (you can usually buy them ready made from the supermarket or you can cube some beef and thread them onto satay sticks yourself.)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 pack hummus
- 1/2 a lettuce, shredded
- 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 finely sliced onion
- Greek style thick yoghurt
- Tomato and/or chilli sauce, whichever you like
- Tin foil
Put the pita breads on a tray in the oven at 100c to gently warm through.
Brush the kebabs with the oil and fry, grill or BBQ them until browned all over and cooked as you like it.
Place a roughly A4 sized
sheet of tin foil on the bench in front of you.
Get 1 pita bread from the
oven and place on the foil. Lightly spread with some hummus.
Then
layer a little lettuce and onion in the middle of the bread.
Take the meat
off two kebab sticks and place on the lettuce/onion.
Top with a slice or
two of tomato, a spoon of yoghurt and a squirt of either tomato or chilli sauce.
Fold each side of the pita bread in to the middle so it overlaps and bring the foil up to wrap around it and hold it in place. Twist the bottom of the foil to stop the juices flowing out, and leave the top free for your mouth to get to the goods!
Make up the remaining 3 pita breads in the same way.
Serves 4
Tips:- If you or someone at home has a smaller appetite, just use one stick of meat rather than two.
- Keep the already made kebabs warm in the oven.
- You can find the hummus and the yoghurt in the refrigerated bit of the supermarket near the cheese. If you can’t get Greek style yoghurt just use plain, unsweetened. If you can’t find the hummus, just skip it and use a little extra yoghurt instead!
- For a vegetarian alternative you could buy some falafel from the refrigerated section of the supermarket to replace the lamb. Follow the instructions on the pack for cooking.
- You could also try lamb or chicken kebabs rather than beef.
