souvlaki pita

Souvlaki pita is a Greek sandwich of grilled meat wrapped in pita bread with vegetables and sauce. In Eli K. Giannopoulos’s chicken version, breast meat is cut into pieces and marinated with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and dried oregano before being threaded onto skewers and grilled.^[1]

The pita is brushed with oil and warmed with oregano. Tzatziki combines strained yoghurt with grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil and red wine vinegar; the cucumber is squeezed to remove excess water. The bread holds the chicken, tzatziki, sliced tomato and red onion, with fried potatoes as an optional addition.^[1]
