  • 175g self-raising flour

For Skewer Marinade (Serves 2, 4 skewers):

  • 1 tsp thyme

  • 2 tsp oregano

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes

For Tzatziki (Serves 4):

  • 1/4 cucumber, cubed

  • 10 mint leaves, finely diced

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 1/2 tsp sugar

Instructions-

  1. Make the Skewers:

    • For 2 servings, use 2 chicken breasts or 3-4 pork shoulder steaks.

    • Optional: Add mixed peppers and red onion to your skewers.

    • Marinate the pork or chicken with the skewer marinade ingredients, ensuring it's well-coated.

    • Divide the flatbread dough into 8 equal parts.

    • Roll each part into a 10-15cm circle.

    • Ensure they remain juicy and tender, avoiding overcooking.

    • Combine all the tzatziki ingredients and mix well.

    • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  5. Serve:

    • Assemble your pork souvlaki by placing the skewers on the flatbreads.
