SOUVLAKI SKEWERS
Separate the layers of the onion wedges into petals. In a bowl, combine the onion petals, the beef cubes, the souvlaki spice, a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Thread 1 beef cube and 2-3 onion petals on to a skewer. Repeat in the same order, filling up each skewer until all the skewers are full. Set aside.
SILKY PURÉE
Place a pot over medium-high heat with the rinsed beans and 40ml of milk or water. Once boiling, remove from the heat and stir in a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. Place in a blender or mash with a fork until the desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk or water. Season to taste and cover to keep warm.
GET YOUR GRILL ON
Place a pan or griddle pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the beef skewers for 4-6 minutes in total, turning as they colour. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter (optional).
SALAD STEP
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of oil, a sweetener of choice, ½ the chopped oregano, and seasoning. Add the cucumber chunks, the diced tomato, and the shredded leaves. Toss until combined.
