Yes, it’s another silly holiday, but since it centers around food, and I’m currently peckish, I’m going with it!

Everyone’s eaten a kebab, right? Chunks of marinated meat, maybe skewered along with pieces of vegetables and mushrooms, then grilled to perfection… Serve it over a bed of rice… Yeah, that sounds really good to me. You can grill, bake, or broil them. Grilled just tastes better to me.

And my favorite kind of kebab (although it’s arguably not actually a kebab because its origin is Greece, not the Middle East) is Greek souvlaki.

When I make it, I marinate chicken chunks ahead of time in a mixture of olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic, onion, salt and pepper, along with the juice of a lemon.  After they’re cooked, I slide the meat off the skewer, wrap it in a piece of flatbread or pita, add chunks of cucumber and tomato, chopped Kalamata olives, diced onions, a banana pepper and a big dollop of Tsitsiki sauce. Don’t know what that is? Basically, it’s yoghurt with cucumber, dill, and garlic—so good!

So, that’s my favorite kind of kebab. What’s yours? Comment for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card!
