Treat your ingredients with care...
- Meat — For tender and juicy souvlaki, choose cuts of meat with some marbling, such as pork shoulder or chicken thighs.
- Dutch-style flatbread or wraps — If you can't find Dutch-style flatbread, you can use tortillas or any other flatbread of your choice.
- Yogurt-based sauce — To make the sauce creamier, strain the yogurt in a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve for a few hours before using.
Tips & Tricks
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Baste the skewers with the marinade while grilling for extra flavor.
- Serve the Dutch-style Souvlaki with a side of Dutch fries and a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
- Experiment with different meat combinations to find your favorite flavor combination.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
Serving advice
Serve the Dutch-style Souvlaki hot, allowing everyone to assemble their own wraps or flatbreads with their preferred toppings. Accompany it with a side of Dutch fries and a fresh salad for a satisfying and balanced meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the grilled meat skewers on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or dill. Serve the flatbreads or wraps separately, allowing guests to create their own personalized souvlaki wraps. Add a dollop of the yogurt-based sauce on the side for dipping.
