Akrotiri: Cypriot Pork Souvlaki With Tzatziki

This recipe is from week three of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I’m attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Akrotiri is my third stop. Akrotiri was a tough one because it is basically an RAF base on the island of Cyprus, so the food is heavily influenced by the British people who live and work there. Pork souvlaki is a kind of Cypriot fast food, cooked on skewers and served in a hot pita. It is topped with a blend of cucumber and Greek yogurt called tzatziki.

Developed this recipe on the fly last night when I found out I was short on hoisin sauce and had an extra mango left over from making tarts.

Pork is symbolic of prosperity and is a favorite dish served for Chinese New Year’s. The Chinese also like to serve sweet and sour dishes as the word sour in Cantonese, sounds like grandchild, and portends the wish for offspring.
