Gryos

Gyro meat

Ingredients

600g pork shoulder
300g pork belly
3g oregano
3g fresh chopped rosemary
6g black pepper
9g paprika
5 cloves garlic, minced
30g oil (any)
1 onion
3 skewers

Directions

Heat the oven to 205°C (unless cooking later)
Freeze the pork for one hour
Mix the spices
Half the onion (and peel it)
Slice the pork as thin as possible roughly the width of the onionc, then mix with the spices
Place three skewers through the first onion half, and stand it up.
Thread the meat onto the skewers.
Cook for ~45 mins till 68°C internal temp (if you have a meat probe)

Pita bread

Ingredients

14g instant yeast
18g sugar
487g water
750g bread flour
15g fine salt

Directions

Add the ingredients, adding the salt, flour then other ingredients.
Knead by hand till mixed and starting to become smooth (maybe 4 mins)
Rest for at least one hour till doubled (or in fridge overnight, taking it out again ~1 hour before use)
Form into 8-10 balls, and leave for 15 mins
Weissman says to heat a baking stone/steel to hottest setting, then cook for 2 mins each side. I’ve had more success doing this on the BBQ, and your oven is already busy with the Gyro. Heat all burners on max for 15 mins, then place the pita on the stone for first 2 mins, before moving to the grates to puff up.
When cooked, place in a tea towel or taco warmer.

Tzatki

Ingredients

Greek yoghurt
Mint (optional)
Parsley (optional)
Olive oil
Salt

Directions

To make the tzatki, mix ingredients to taste.
