@sandwichesofhistory: Frajolaki (Canada) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Today’s International Sandwich Sunday is a bit odd in that the sandwich was created in one country, Canada, but clearly has roots in another, Greece. Apparently a Greek restaurant(s?) in Saskatchewan came up with this sandwich and well, here we are. While originally done with beef, it is my understanding that is also now done with chicken (though after I got the ingredients and started recording I saw a comment on the original recipe that it should’ve been chicken breasts, butterflied open. While I prefer chicken thighs, I also prefer to follow the recipe. Management apologizes for the error). #fyp #sandwichesofhistory #oldrecipes #internationalsandwichsunday

Sandwich Dad🇨🇦 :
In the 80s and 90s, every single family restaurant in SK was a Greek family restaurant. Not as popular as it used to be but I counted at least 8 places in Saskatoon that still have a chicken or steak Frajolaki (or sometimes callec fratzolaki) on the menu 😁🙌🏼🥪❤️

Lived in Sask all my life and every frajolaki I’ve had included tomatoes so that plus up was a good call. Another common addition is feta cheese

made a sandwich today that Im wondering how to plus up. I fried 3 slices of bologna, and melted Colby cheese on 2 slices, stacked them and placed it on white bread with mayo and honey Sriracha on both sides before toasting the entire sandwich. any tips?

i think you'd love chicken souvlaki. i use the americas test kitchen recipe but bake everything in a 9x13 because i dont have a grill (my own tzatziki though not their recipe) and its so good. especially with homemade pita

I learned from Roll for Sandwich that in other countries they actually are called purple onions. 🙂

Here before the plus up and I can’t think of any flavor that’s truly lacking in this but what if you hit it with some bacon 👁️👁️

I think this looks magnificent. The olives and the tomato are certainly following the Greek influence of the sandwich.

Subjectively, I would have added Feta and Cavenders.

Same recipe, in a wrap (aka tortilla), with lettuce, tomato, cheese and fresh onion is a souvlaki over here. We do lamb and or chicken though. Never beef.

Great to get some representation from Saskatchewan! I don't remember if I've had the frajolaki before, but I will definitely keep an eye out for it now!

I believe the secret to a good marinade is high acid. Helps break down the meat so the flavors can actually permeate
