  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 2 onions, cut into wedges
  • 1 green pepper, cut into large chunks
  • 4 tbsp Greek yoghurt
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Oil

Rice salad

  • 400 g cooked rice (about 180 g uncooked)
  • 250 g fine green beans
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 red pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 red onion, cut into thin strips
  • 2 handfuls fresh spinach

Instructions

  • Trim the tenderloin of any silver skin and fat, and cut the meat into long, thin slices/strips.
  • Mix the yoghurt with the spices, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and add a little oil. Stir well and turn the meat in the marinade until coated.
  • Toss the vegetables with a little oil and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Fold the strips of meat concertina-style and thread them onto 4 skewers, alternating with the vegetables. Spread everything out gently so the meat isn't packed too tightly.
    If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes so they don't burn during cooking.
  • Cook the skewers in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 215°C for about 12-15 minutes. It is a good idea to rest the skewers across a foil tray or similar so they are lifted off the baking tray.
    You can of course also cook the skewers on the barbecue or fry them in a pan in a little oil until golden and cooked through.

Rice salad

  • Boil the beans until just tender, rinse them in plenty of cold water, and cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Mix the ingredients for the vinaigrette (olive oil, lemon juice and garlic) and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Put all the rice salad ingredients in a bowl, pour over the vinaigrette and toss well.
    Keep chilled until ready to serve.

Serving

  • Serve the juicy gyros skewers with the rice salad, bread and tzatziki.
