On the menu for tonight. The marinade has lemon juice, evoo, grated tomato, grated onion, paprika, 8 (!) cloves of garlic. Can't remember off the top of my head what else. After 24 hour marinade, you cook it on a sheet pan, then shred and serve on pita with tzatziki. Should be interesting.

I was underwhelmed.
It sounded wonderful, but it was very subtle. I didn't like the tzatziki recipe at all (very thick, in spite of the fact I used undrained Greek yogurt, and not much flavor. After consulting other recipes, I added lemon juice which helped) and the amount of effort (to say nothing of the mess) to grate a tomato and an onion on a box grater was ridiculous. Plus mincing 8 garlic cloves. So I was disappointed. I'm gonna use the meat, which was interesting, if not exciting, with some spices, etc, on crispy flour tortillas.

Don't think I've seen a tzatziki recipe without some kind of acid. I also have been a bit
disappointed with recipes I've made from the NYT website. Not all of them, but some where I felt I could have found a better version. Perhaps as though there's something missing? That said, I made Sam Sifton's Middle School Tacos last night and loved his blend for seasoning the meat.

smileys/bigsmile.gif - actually, it is the only cafeteria food DD would eat in elementary school,
so I looked forward to Taco Tuesday because it gave me a day off from packing lunch.
Now that she is actually in middle school, so won't go near the cafeteria. At least I know exactly what she is eating, cuz each day we have a debate over whether a Nutella sandwich is going to appear in her lunchbox...she is usually disappointed to find soup or a turkey sandwich.
