Ingredients

Greek gyros

  • 600 g pork, cut into strips or cubes
  • 3 tbsp homemade gyros seasoning
  • Oil

Tzatziki

  • 400 g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 large cucumber
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, finely grated or crushed
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped mint
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper

To serve

  • 4 homemade flatbreads or pitta breads
  • 400 g oven chips
  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • 1 romaine lettuce or other salad leaves
  • 1 small red onion

Instructions

Tzatziki

  • Coarsely grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  • Put the grated cucumber in a sieve, season with a little salt – roughly the amount you would add to the dressing – and toss it through with your hands. Leave the cucumber to drain for about 15 min., squeezing out the liquid a few more times along the way.
  • Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the dressing: stir the yoghurt together with the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and mint. Then fold in the cucumber and season the dressing with a little pepper and more salt if it needs it.
  • Chill until ready to serve – and do let it stand for a while, it only gets better.

Greek gyros and sides

  • Heat the chips in the oven as directed on the bag.
  • Slice the vegetables as you like and set them aside.
  • Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the meat over a medium heat for a couple of minutes.
  • Season with the homemade gyros seasoning and continue frying until the meat is golden and cooked through.
  • Just before serving, warm the flatbreads or pitta breads – and your pitta gyros are ready to serve.
  • Assemble your pitta gyros with chips, salad, spiced pork and plenty of tzatziki.
