Souvlaki isn't just a weird word you don't know how to pronounce. (For the record, it's sue-vlah-key.) It's a Greek preparation of meat or vegetables, traditionally eaten off a hot skewer. We nixed the skewer: we don't want accidental mouth stabbings on our watch! But we've kept the tender chicken, spiced perfectly with flavorful seasoning and cooked with fresh tomato and shallot. We've also kept a potato side. Ours is tossed with perfectly pungent feta, and the classic garlic-yogurt-cucumber sauce, bringing that perfect hint of cool to the proceedings. Tip: How to get your best lemon zest: use the small holes of the grater, and press into it until the colored skin comes off. Zest as little of the white beneath as possible; the white is called “pith,” and is quite bitter.
