Provided by Michael Capstick

Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 6-8 wraps

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 a cucumber
200g tomatoes
1/2 iceberg lettuce
1 red onion
6-8 tortilla wraps/ flatbreads / thin pittas - i prefer tortillas
homemade/pre-made tzatziki
1/2 a cucumber
200g tomatoes
1/2 iceberg lettuce
1 red onion
6-8 tortilla wraps/ flatbreads / thin pittas - i prefer tortillas
homemade/pre-made tzatziki
3 tbsp Olive Oil
3 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 Garlic Cloves (minced/finely chopped)
1 tbsp oregano
1 tsp salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
6-8 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

Steps:

  • Prepare the Chicken Marinade first. Get a large bowl. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the Chicken Thighs and give it a mix with your hands. Make sure you get into all the nooks and crannies. Add more oregano if necessary. Leave for 30ish minutes.
  • Prepare wrap ingredients. Slice tomatoes, slice cucumber into half moon shapes, THINLY slice onions and slice the lettuce.
  • Add the marinated chicken to a medium-heat skillet or frying pan for 5-7 minutes. Cook in 2 batches to avoid over crowding the pan (this should allow it to brown nicely). Once nicely browned and cooked through leave to rest on a chopping board for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Build the wraps. Toast the flatbread or tortilla on a frying pan. I place a tortilla directly onto the gas as this gives a nice charred flavour. You may prefer to heat in frying pan.
  • Build the wraps - tortilla/flatbreat, then lettuce, onion, cucumber, tomatoes.and tzatziki. Be careful not to over fill, just a little of each is best. Slice the rested chicken and add to the wrap. And enjoy!
  • To wrap the tortilla properly, first fold up from the bottom, the fold the two adjacent sides over.

GREEK-INSPIRED SEARED PORK CHOPS



Greek-Inspired Seared Pork Chops image

Bursting with flavor and perfect for a light summer dinner, these Greek-inspired pork chops are anything but boring. The pork is well seasoned and the flavor is amplified through the caramelization that occurs during searing. The bright acidity is balanced out with salty, brininess from the olives and feta.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (5 ounce) boneless, center-cut pork chops
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
1 medium lemon, juiced
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place pork chops between sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound to flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides of the chops evenly with Greek seasoning.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Place 2 chops in the hot skillet and sear for 2 minutes. Flip and cook until chops are no longer pink in the center, or to desired degree of doneness, 2 to 4 more minutes. Set aside and keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and repeat to cook remaining 2 chops.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are slightly blistered and softened, about 3 minutes. Add olives and lemon juice and cook for 2 minutes.
