  • 1,5 Pck. Sheep milk cheese
  • 1 small Red Onion

Instructions
 

Souvlaki:

  • Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a larger bowl. Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion and add to the juice. Add the cinnamon, fennel, cumin, oregano, pepper and salt, mix everything together and top up with a little olive oil. Cut the cold-washed, dried meat into approx. 3 cm cubes and add to the marinade. Now maybe pour in enough olive oil that the meat doesn't look out. Stir everything well, mix, cover and put in the fridge for a few hours (ideally overnight) to marinate.
  • For the skewers, wash the whole lemon with hot water, dry it and quarter it lengthways and cut the quarters into approx. 0.5 mm thick slices. Peel the red onion, cut into eighths and peel apart in two layers. Then skewer meat, lemon slice, 2 onion slices, meat ... alternately on 4 metal skewers (approx. 20 cm long). At the other end, the meat should finish off. About 6 pieces fit. on it. It does not have to be dabbed off after it has been removed from the marinade. Do not throw away the leftover marinade, but keep it for the shepherd's salad.
  • Ideally, fry the skewers either on the grill or in a grill pan until they have turned well. Inside, however, the meat should still be light pink. If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can of course fry the skewers in a conventional pan. Be careful with additional frying fat, as the marinade makes the skewers very oily.

Tzatziki:

  • In the meantime, put the yogurt in a bowl. Press in the peeled garlic, add the vinegar and oil and stir everything well. Then add the grated cucumber, fold in and season with salt.

Shepherd's salad:

  • Wash the cucumber, zucchini, tomatoes, dry them. Core the tomatoes, remove the stalks. Cut all 3 vegetables into small cubes and place in a bowl. Drain the olives, cut in half. Peel and halve the onion and cut into fine strips. Drain the sheep's cheese and cut into suitable cubes. Again add everything to the vegetables.
  • Season the marinade of the souvlaki with vinegar, pepper, salt and sugar and pour over the salad. Mix everything well and let it steep a little.
  • A pita bread (see recipe in my KB) and a dry red wine go perfectly with this dish. Good Appetite.
