| ~ Cyprus style Souvlaki is very easy to do and very tasty. ~ By having control of your charcoal you can have an excellent hot appetizer or a full meal. ~ Souvlaki in Cyprus is made with either pork or lamb. ~ Lamb meat is tastier and more nutritious. ~ Part of the tastiness and success is using some of the lamb’s tail fat which is placed on the skewer among the meat. ~ When the fat starts melting will give the meat a nice aroma and prevent it from drying out. ~ Cut lamb and tail fat in small pieces, about an inch in cubes. ~ Put on skewers and in between the meat add some tail fat. ~ Cook on low heat charcoal until fat is melted and the meat is nice and cooked. ~ Season it with salt and pepper as it cooks and almost at the end. ~ Place souvlaki in a dish, sprinkle with chopped onions and chopped parsley, garnish on the side with chopped tomato, cucumber, fresh cut lemon, yogurt dip (talaturi) or tzatziki, pita bread cooked on charcoal. ~ Good luck and bon appétit! |
