One of my favorite dishes of all time is Greek Gyros. I honestly have no recollection of where I found this recipe, but whenever I make it I eat WAY TOO MUCH! Since part of my family is eating meatless, I have also made this with a soy meat-substitute and it tastes pretty good too, although I prefer the pork.
Gyros:
1 cup minced onion
4 cloves minced garlic
2 pounds ground pork
4 TB. lemon juice
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cumin
Saute onion and garlic in a bit of oil until onion is transparent. Add the rest of the ingredients to the onion mixture and cook until the meat is browned.
Sauce:
8 ounces plain yogurt
1/2 tsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. dill
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
Combine all sauce ingredients and chill until ready to use.
Basically, you put some meat, some sauce, and some lettuce, tomato, red onion, olives, sliced cucumber and peppercinis in a pita pocket and enjoy! (I use this fabulous recipe for the pitas.)
Serve with a salad of lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, olives and peppercinis. You may also add some Feta cheese, if you like.
Happy cooking!
