Skewer the meat on skewers – make skewers

Heat a frying pan and cook the skewers until golden brown. Then put them on a baking tray and put them in a preheated oven for about 10 min to finish cooking the meat.

In the remaining time, prepare the tzatziki; prepare the Greek tzatziki by grating the washed cucumber into a bowl with the skin, add salt, transfer to a colander and drain, this will get rid of excess water. Add good quality Greek yoghurt, dill, lemon juice, crushed garlic, pepper and season with salt as needed

Serve this dish with toasted pita bread.
