About This Recipe
Souvlaki is the archetypical street food found in Greece, hand wrapped and eaten while walking around. The meat that goes in it can be pork, chicken or in some cases lamb formed into a long, thin meatball like a kofta. We’ve decided to go for a vegetarian version here using halloumi, (actually from Cyprus rather than Greece).
Halloumi is high in calcium and protein and relatively low in fat. Souvlaki is ordinarily wrapped in a white-flour pita bread, but we’ve taken our flatbread dough and added some seeds to up the nutritional content.
We’re offering two options here: one is a ‘modern’ take with char-grilled peppers (a great source of vitamin C and betacarotene – a precursor to vitamins A and K) and wilted greens (high in B vitamins and iron), the other more traditional with fresh organic tomatoes and red onion.
