Smell of Lemon, Oregano and Pork on the Q--- Opa !! " Souvlaki " Taste of Greece for supper
I am always wanting the taste and smell of a roasted pork ( or chicken ) Souvlaki on a grill flame.
Started off with a pork shoulder, cubed up . Skewered and soaked in a nice bath the night.
Made a nice batch of Greek style roasted potatoes ; cut up a bunch of small potatoes and a large onion.
Mixed up chicken broth, oil, lemon juice, salt, oregano and garlic. mixed with the spuds.
Into the oven for about 30 minutes, ( so they are baking in a very flavourful broth mixture.
While they are in the oven , I make up my Donair sauce recipe ( similar to Tzatziki, or at least what we serve and enjoy up here on Donairs or Gyro's )
So potatoes are ready to come out of the broth mix ( I did stir a couple times ) stread out on large foil pan and drizzle some of the broth on top. back in the oven for another 30 minutes or until crispy outside.
Made some rice with a hint of lemon also. And chopped the onions and tomatoes for the Souvlaki
Fire up the Q, and roast up the souvlaki. This is my favorite part other then eating them.
Potatoes are ready and the pork is done right.
Set it all up and let the ladies have their way with it all There are 4 of them tonight as a guest has a birthday on Sunday. Which is today now.
So I had to have an actual Souvlaki in the pita bread ( store bought ) Filled and rolled up like an ice cream and eat like a banana ( years ago ( 40+/- ) this is how I was told how to explain it to some one trying to eat this or a Donair )
I put 3 of the skewers in my wrap.
LOL, I had to put in a can to take picture as no one would stop eating and hold it for me to take the picture, Mean ladies !!
My plate
That is what I was talking about, the smell and taste of the pork and lemon and oregano , and the sauce.
I'm a happy guy ,
Thanks for following along with my trip to my flavour world
