      The salad beside it looks very appetizing. It's hard enough to control the 🐔 breast on the skewer and not burn it. I have had it in the past with pepper 🌶️🫑 and 🧅, usually, they burn it hence carcigenic. Does anyone think or care or refuse the dish, like a burnt pizza, not really. They all eat it and say yummy 😋

    Made the souvlaki and tzatziki sauce tonight. Used the grill and decided to add some vegetable skewers on the side. Knocked it out of the park with this one! My Husband couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was and I wholeheartedly agree. Followed the exact recipes and was not disappointed! Thanks for another top tier meal. Will be on rotation this summer! 👏🏻👩🏻‍🍳

    If there's one thing Greeks know it's how to prepare food. I had two Greek brother-in-laws [one just recently passed away at 91; may God rest his soul]. They both owned restaurants, so I can truthfully say Greeks know food! Souvlaki is an incredible sample of that knowledge. Thank you for sharing your recipe.😮

    I’d recommend adding the zest of the lemon to the marinade as well. Citrus zest is such a flavour boost.

    • @maryanafsahi3530
      @maryanafsahi3530 8 месяцев назад +3

      I disagree with the zest as not everyone can buy organic. If you watch 🍋 documentaries you will see of how much fungicide imazilil ect. Personally, I don't fancy the zest as it's super hard to remove it's impurity 😂

All your ingredients are very natural, and well done you, not promoting rubbish supermarket, sauces and making your recipe, only with natural ingredients. I admire you and will be looking out for more recipes put together by you. Yes definitely thumbs up ❤❤

    Very nice recipe! I do it all the time, especially when you combine it with the original Greek pita. 1 comment on the tzatziki. The original recipe uses vinegar instead of lemon and usually not that much dill, because in Greece dill has a strong flavor. The biggest debate in Greece, is the quantity of garlic. :D :D

  • @beckysmith1178
    @beckysmith1178 8 месяцев назад +1

    Sounds good except I don't really like the flavor of dill. Would there be a good substitute for dill to use? Because dill is overpowering of a flavor to me and reminds me too much of pickles. I do love pickles but I don't want that flavor in other things really. I might could take it if I could use less dill along with whatever you suggest. Thank you for this great healthy idea!
