Directions: Tzatziki is made with 500 ml. plain natural or Greek yogurt, 1 cucumber which has been peeled and de-seeded and g
rated and drained of extra liquid, and 2-4 cloves of fresh minced garlic. Mix together, and let sit in fridge until ready to use. This is an extremely traditional recipe, and might be a bit sharp for the average American palate, so you might want to halve the garlic amount.
| Ingredients:
1/10 Pound(s) 4 cloves, minced garlic
1 peeled & de-seeded cucumber
2 Cup(s) plain yogurt |

Gyro Meat (Swedish Kebab)
417/10000 Ounce(s) black pepper
1/12 Ounce(s) ground rosemary
1/2 Teaspoon(s) ground marjoram
1/8 Ounce(s) preferrably sea salt salt
217/10000 Pound(s) fresh, minced garlic
1/2 very finely chopped (or shredded white onion
1 Pound(s) ground lamb |
Directions:
Mix everything together and let sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Blend in a food processor for about 1 minute. (When cooked, this will help give it a more traditional gyro feel on your palate. Otherwise, it just takes like cooked minced meat.)
Form into an oblong around a spit, and slow cook over a grill for around 30-45 minutes, cooking far from the coals, and rotating slowly. Alternatively, bake in the oven in a meatloaf shape for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, at 325 degrees F. It should be a bit dry.
Slice very thin. Build gyro with pita, lettuce, tomato, onion (optional), and tzatziki sauce. (For a swedish kabob, use some of the dressing recipes found in this site.)
HISTORY LESSON ON GYRO: (unknown source)
Hi there! I have lived and worked in Greece for a few years, and worked as a butcher in the U.S. for quite some time, so let me shed a bit of light: Donair (doner or Donar), Gyros, and Schwarma are all pretty much the same thing. The Doner Kebab (probably the closest original ethnic food to the American invention, the Gyro) is originally from Turkey. The gyro is an American invention which is basically a cheap version of a traditional Greek Kebab (the main difference is that the Greek one would use large pieces of boned lamb, pressed together using its own fat as a binder, and marinated, whereas Gyro uses ground meat.) The Schwarma is a version from the Middle East that is much larger, uses a similar meat to the Greek kebab, but less meat and more vegetables in the kebab itself.
A traditional gyro should be made with at least 50% ground lamb, and the rest beef. The best ground to use is one with a high fat content (this is so that during the remixing it binds and keeps it shape well!). The main flavouring ingredients should always be: garlic, onion, marjoram, rosemary, salt and black pepper. Marjoram and Rosemary are similar to oregano and thyme in flavour (respectively), and are common ingredients in Greek cooking. True Greek food rarely uses oregano. The mass-produced Gyros use oregano, not to mention garlic and onion powder, but we used fresh minced garlic and onions. Here is the recipe we used where I used to work. |
