During quarantine, we all tried making dishes at home that we usually ordered out! I used pork fillets and made delicious homemade gyro—quick, light, and healthy! Whether you wrap it in Cypriot or Greek pita, or even in a sandwich roll, it’s a unique treat. Fill it however you like: chopped green salad, tomato, finely chopped onion, and of course, your favorite sauce—tzatziki, yogurt, mustard, or ketchup. Lay out all the ingredients and let everyone assemble their own!

Steps

30 minutes

1

Cut the pork into small, evenly sized pieces using kitchen scissors or a knife so they cook evenly.
2

Place the pork in a bowl and add salt, pepper, sweet paprika, garlic powder, mustard, and a little olive oil. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3

After marinating, heat a grill pan over high heat and add a few drops of olive oil. Spread the pork evenly in the pan. Use tongs to turn the pieces so they brown on all sides and the fat gets crispy. Taste and add more spices if needed.
4

Prepare the chopped green salad, finely chopped onion, and plain yogurt or yogurt mixed with mustard.
5

Assemble your gyro with your favorite ingredients! Open a Cypriot pita, spread yogurt with a spoon, add salad, onion, and the pork gyro. Enjoy a perfect homemade gyro!
