In fact, I probably would make this several times this week, except Chris and I have just got back from a blissful weekend break in Barcelona, and I NEED to recreate some of the gorgeous food we stuffed ourselves silly with whilst we were there. Chris’ mum took the kids away for a few days to Wales, so we pretty much had the plane tickets booked before she finished her sentence of ‘we’d like to take the children away…..’ 🙂Several jugs of Sangria later, we’re back, we’re relaxed, and probably a good few pounds heavier! I have a new love for tapas - which in my eyes is basically a custom-made hot buffet brought straight to your table. I’ll be working on recreating a few of those dishes over the next couple of weeks.
More Wrap Style Ideas
If you like food in tacos or in encased in a soft homemade flatbread then here are some more amazing ideas; But for now, let’s scoot a thousand or so miles over to Greece and talk Souvlaki.This is a traditional Greek fast-food snack, usually made with pork. I find it works equally well with chicken thighs or lamb. It’s marinated for an hour or so in a lovely lemony, garlic, olive oil marinade, and the meat soaks up the flavours sooo well. You can cook these on a griddle, under the grill, or on the BBQ. It’s a great dish to prepare ahead, and serve later, as once the prep is done, it only takes 10 minutes of cooking before you’re all sat around the table digging in. Don’t be alarmed if the meat looks paler after it’s been marinating for a while. The acid in the lemon juice starts to tenderise and ‘cook’ the meat. Because chicken thigh is quite soft and tender already, I’d recommend marinating it no longer than a few hours. Tougher meat like lamb or pork can easily take overnight marinating through.
