Method

How to make Gyros

First of all, preferably the day before or in any case a few hours before serving your gyros, prepare the classic Greek bread, using a pan 24 – 26 cm wide so that they can be closed perfectly with the filling

To make it, follow the step-by-step procedure in the PITA article

Then slice the pork very thinly, better if you have a slicer, because you would need to obtain thin pieces like kebabs, but if you don’t have one, don’t worry, my advice is to use a knife with a super sharp smooth blade from which you can also obtain very thin strips. if the slice falls apart it does nothing, the subtlety is important.

Then arrange all the strips on a baking tray lined with baking paper with a generous drizzle of oil, salt and pepper:

Mix well and leave to marinate covered with cling film for 30 minutes, this will enhance the flavour.

finally cook in a hot oven at 180° for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. For the last 10 minutes, place in the upper part of the oven and turn on the grill to encourage browning.

In the meantime, wash the milk, slice the tomatoes and, if you like, also the onions and prepare the yogurt sauce according to the procedure found in the article TZATZIKI

assemble the gyros - Recipe by Tavolartegusto

At this point assemble your Gyros in this way:

The Kos restaurateur’s advice is to heat the pita a little in the pan so as to rediscover all the flavor of the original dish!

On each pita, add a spoonful of Tzatziki sauce, spreading it well and leaving 2 – 3 cm on the edge. then, place 2 slices of lettuce and 2 slices of tomato for each portion.

finally a handful of meat and 4 – 5 chips.

Then close by pulling the two outer edges of the pie towards the center. I suggest you use baking paper cut into 4 – 5 cm strips and string to simulate the presentation of the real pita gyros typical of Greek street food!

Finally serve with french fries on the plate and more Tzatziki sauce!

Here it is ready to serve Gyros
