Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #92 | The Bird’s Wrapping it! Greek Style!
Good Monday my Steemit Sandwich Elves!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend filled with fantastic sandwiches! I noticed it’s time for a little sandwich-ness in the Bird house. Mr. Bird is tapping his beak to the rain outside, I know he's getting a bit hungry.
And well gee, who doesn’t want a good sandwich?
Thanks to dear old Mr. Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich for the “biggest contribution to Gastronomy”, the sandwich
They come in all forms, wrapped, rolled, folded and layered.
Since Mr. Bird is trying to lose a few springtime pounds right now I thought it would be nice to ditch the bread this week. Perhaps a little lettuce wrap?
Bird’s Greek Lettuce Wrap!
All the The Stuff-ing
- Marinated Artichoke Hearts
- Chickpeas
- Onion
- English Cucumber
- Black Olives
- Tomatoes
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Fresh Parsley
- Lettuce Leaves
- Chicken Thighs
- Feta Cheese
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Garlic Powder
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Fresh Lemon Juice
- Bird’s Tzatziki Sauce
- Sriracha Sauce to spice things up!
First up, we wash, chop...
and slice the Cucumbers and Onions!
Black Olives and Tomatoes…
And the Artichokes!
Don’t forget…
the Parsley and Peppers too! Chop, chop! Drain and rinse the Chickpeas. I couldn’t think of anything else to add. Lemon juice, Red Wine Vinegar, Garlic Powder, EVOO Salt and pepper, mix it up! Toss the salad and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Meanwhile, I had marinated…
the chicken overnight in a nice EVOO, Red Wine Vinegar, Salt and Pepper and of course a dash of Sriracha. Grill them up!
Oh my…
how about a little taste, perhaps just a little more salt and pepper? And just maybe I added a bit more Sriracha ;) It was all I could do to resist the urge to grab a spoon and dig in! Patience, Patience...
And it’s a wrap! Sprinkle the Feta and Drizzle the Tzatziki! Enjoy
Big on taste, light on the waistline! A perfect springtime sandwich!

Pertinent to a conversation we had a day or two ago.

Oh my word...a cross between old gym sock, gasoline, geesh how could you even put that in your mouth??? As for the jackfruit, it is tasty and the pods are not sticky at all. It's like the rind just doesn't want to let go of the pod very easily, lol I think you should try it once if you see it, smells like juicy fruit gum....flash back to our childhood ES :)
See the fifth image down where there’s that little piece of parsley lying on the chickpeas? Yeah, this is what it’s come to, @birdsinparadise, pointing out a piece of parsley. Ha!! You’re just that dang good, chef! 😉
Oh yes! You noticed the piece of parsley? I was hoping you would catch that, lol All the hours spent placing each morsel, whew, I was vulture hungry! I guess accidents do happen :) You're the greatest @dandays, always make me smile :)
looks delicious and i'm sure it gave Mr Bird something to peck at! I hope his beak isn't too sore from banging on the windows... wishing for a sunny day for you two so you can get to the beach! Love you momma!
hehe, no worries about the beak, it's in top form....always :) Glad you liked this, wish I could share it with YOU! As for the rain, it's sunny and hot hot hot now, spiced with a lot of humidity, but all good for spring green colors Love you oxoxoxox

Wow, now even after my monster sandwich, this makes me "hungry" again... Beautiful, colourful and just the healthy part which would accomplish some Ham & Salami Monster. ;) Good luck my friend. You have brought everything needed to may devours a monster. Hehe

That looks so healthy and light and yet looks so good, I would happily have that for lunch
