It's not exactly a Greek recipe, but while I was 
working on Rumpolt, he includes a "Turkish" 
recipe for grillled mutton marinated in onion
.
19. Nimm schöne weisse Zwibeln/ und schneidt sie 
gar klein/ und reib den Braten wohl damit/
auch mit Salz/ lasz es miteinander ein Stund oder 
zwo liegen/ oder gar uber Nacht/ mach
darnach ein hölzern Spiese von einer häßleu 
Stauden/ steck die Braten daran/ und brat sie
geschwindt hinweg/ so werden sie gut und wohl 
geschmack. Auf diese manier zugericht/
essen die Türken gern.

Von Hammel
19. Take fair white onions/ and cut them 
completely small/ and rub the roast well with 
them/ also with salt/ let it lay together an hour 
or two/ or overnight/ then make a wood spit from 
a hazel bush/ stick the roast on it/ and roast it 
quickly away/ like this it becomes good and well 
tasting.  In this manner prepared/ the Turks like 
to eat.

(I feel like Stefan lately.  No matter the topic, 
he has something from the Flori-thingy, and I 
have something from Rumpolt. :)
