Instructions
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.
