Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lemon — Choose fresh and juicy lemons for the best flavor. Roll them on the countertop before juicing to extract more juice.
- Fresh herbs — Use fresh herbs for a vibrant taste. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can substitute with dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.
Tips & Tricks
- Marinate the offal overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
- If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of garlic in the marinade.
- Serve the antzougia with a side of tzatziki sauce for a cooling contrast.
- If you can't find lamb or goat offal, you can substitute with chicken livers for a different twist.
- For a smoky flavor, grill the antzougia over charcoal instead of a gas grill.
Serving advice
Serve the antzougia hot off the grill, accompanied by a fresh Greek salad and warm pita bread. The combination of flavors and textures will create a delightful meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the sliced antzougia on a platter, garnished with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. The vibrant colors and enticing aroma will make it an appealing centerpiece for any table.
