Authentic Greek Souvlaki
Experience the legendary street-food flavor of Elpida Vasiliadis, Astoria's beloved 'Souvlaki Lady.' This recipe guides you through grilling tender pork or chicken skewers seasoned with Greek spices and assembling them into warm pita wraps packed with tzatziki, fresh vegetables, french fries, and a sweet mustard sauce. Chef's tips: (1) Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from catching fire. (2) In traditional Greek pita wraps, french fries are included inside the wrap instead of lettuce. (3) Basting with a lemon juice and olive oil mixture during grilling keeps the meat juicy and creates a delicious flame-broiled flavor.
