Party Food Made Simple: Entertaining with Glacial Treasure Skewers

Entertaining shouldn’t require hiring a caterer. Glacial Treasure skewers are one of the easiest party foods you can put out — they look impressive, taste like restaurant food, and require almost no active cooking time. Here’s how to build a party spread around them.

The Numbers

Plan for 3-4 skewers per person for a main-event party, or 1-2 per person if you’re doing a mezze-style spread with other proteins. One package of Glacial Treasure Chicken or Pork Souvlaki typically feeds 3-4 people generously.

The Spread

Set up a large platter or two on your dining table or kitchen island. Grill your souvlaki (or bake in the oven at 220°C for 20 minutes if the grill isn’t an option), then arrange:

• A pile of freshly grilled souvlaki skewers
• A stack of warm pita, cut into wedges
• A large bowl of homemade Tzatziki (from our Cash & Carry)
• A smaller bowl of homemade Tirokafteri (also Cash & Carry)
• A big Greek salad in a wide, shallow bowl
• A bowl of hummus with vegetables (cucumber, peppers, carrots)
• Kalamata olives and pickled peppers
• Extra lemon wedges everywhere

The Order of Operations

Day before: Make the Greek salad ingredients (chop and store separately). Pick up souvlaki and any other ingredients from Fortinos, and Tzatziki/Tirokafteri from our Cash & Carry.

2 hours before guests: Take souvlaki out to thaw. Set up your platters and serving dishes. Chill drinks.

30 minutes before guests: Assemble the Greek salad. Warm pita. Bring out condiments and let them come to room temperature.

When guests arrive: Grill souvlaki in batches. As the first batch comes off the grill, bring the platter to the table. Rest 3 minutes. Everyone digs in.

The Impression

Guests will assume you spent all day cooking. The reality: an hour of prep, ten minutes of active grilling. The souvlaki does the work. Anastasia Dikeos’s marinade — perfected over decades and applied to every skewer at our facility — delivers restaurant flavour without a restaurant kitchen. That’s the whole point of a premium pre-marinated product done right.

Available at Fortinos and always at our Cash & Carry at 300 Milliken Blvd, Toronto.
