Souvlaki with Tzaziki
- 2 pounds lamb shoulder
- 2 cups red wine
- 2 each garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cups yogurt
- 1/2 each cucumbers grated
- 2 each garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Place the meat in a large bowl.
- Pour in the wine and sprinkle minced garlic and oregano.
- Imbed the lemon strips among the cubes of meat and drizzle with olive oil.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight.
- Shake or stir the mixture several times during the marination period.
- About 30 minutes before serving, drain off and discard the marinade.
- Thread the chunks of meat onto long skewers, brushing with a little olive oil.
- Over medium coals, barbeque the souvlaki until it's done the way you like it.
- Serve on a bed of rice and pass the tzaziki to spoon on top.
- Line a colander or sieve with cheesecloth (or gauze) and set it over a bowl.
- Pour in the yogurt and allow it to drip for an hour or so.
- After the yogurt has drained, combine it, in a small bowl, with the cucumber and the garlic.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until just before serving.
- While the meat is BBQing, drizzle the olive oil over the surface, and without stirring, sprinkle on the salt.
- It needs no mixing - your guest will do that when they dollop it onto their souvlaki.
