July, I know.


Stolen image of the delicious.

Where the hell did June go? Anyway, I present to you, Souvlaki. A delicious Greek dish, usually made with pork, but can be made with chicken. It's delicious either way. I advocate grilling skewers of meat over hardwood charcoal, but if you don't have a grill, you can accomplish something similar with a broiler pan. Enjoy!

What you need:
3# pork tenderloin/ chicken breast/ chicken thigh
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup onion, large dice
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cracked pepper

Skewers, usually 8-12 will do.

How you do this:
(1) Cut the meat into approximately 1" cubes
(2) Combine the ingredients in a large non-reactive container (read as: plastic, bowl or bag), marinate overnight-- or two!
(3) Thread onto skewers and then--
(4a) Grill over hardwood charcoal until done or--
(4b) Broil for 15 mins then finish at 350 degrees

Eat!
