Why I Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because everyone loves to create their own meal. Homemade chips are a must!
Ingredients
- LAMB OR PORK SHOULDER: Slow cooked and falling off the bone
- OREGANO : Dried
- GLUTEN FREE WRAPS OR PITTA BREAD: Store bought, I found mine in Coles (Australia) see photo below
- GREEK YOGHURT: The best as it so creamy and delicious
- FRESH MINT: A touch of green
- LEBANESE CUCUMBERS: Grated
- FREHS LEMON: Squeezed
- GARLIC: Diced
- POTATOES: Cut into chips ready to bake
- FRESH SALAD: Whatever you have in the fridge – sliced tomatoes, red onion, cos lettuce, rocket, grated beetroot…
Instructions
Let’s get cooking!
- Place your meat in a baking tray. Drizzle with oil and oregano. Pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for approx 40 minutes until falling part. I have chosen pork for this dish. The crackle beautifully cooks to a crunchy delight!
- Place your potato chips on a baking tray to cook at the same time. Again, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Once your meat is cooked. Gently remove the crackling and chop into chunks. Then thinly slice the pork. Cover with foil, place back into a low heat in the oven to keep warm. Leave the chips in the oven as well.
- Meanwhile, let’s make the tzakii. In a bowl, add the greek yoghurt, grated cucumber, chopped mint, diced garlic and lemon juice. Pinch of salt to season. Stir. Done!
- Set the table and the buffet for everyone to help themselves. A large platter of fresh salad, the wraps, the chips, the meat and of course, the homemade tzakii. I love to serve chilli sauce on the side.
Tips And Tricks
Can I choose other meats?
Lamb is traditional! You can also serve skewers of meat to make this dish easier and time effective
How will I know when the meat is cooked?
I always pierce the meat to check the colour of the juices – if clear, its cooked!
Can I make sweet potato chips ?
Great option! A delicious touch and colour!
