This recipe is a combination of various gyro recipes I’ve found online or seen on TV. It’s simply fantastic! I got the pita bread recipe from Oliver’s 30-Minute Meals.

A few more tips:

This recipe came together by combining different recipes to suit my family’s taste preferences. My family and I decided this is the best gyro we’ve ever had.

Steps

90 Minutes
  1. 1

    Pound the two pork chops well, or ask your butcher to do it. The bone isn’t a problem, but you can remove it now or, even better, after cooking.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle all the spices over the pork chops and drizzle with a little oil.

  3. 3

    Place the bacon on one pork chop and cover with the other pork chop.

  4. 4

    Press them together firmly with your hands to combine.

  5. 5

    Add a little oil to a roasting pan and place the pork chops inside.

  6. 6

    Slice the onion into thick rings and arrange them in the roasting pan around the meat.

  7. 7

    Drizzle a bit more oil, add the water, and season the onions with the same spices you used for the meat.

  8. 8

    Cover the roasting pan and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 1 hour.

  9. 9

    Next, uncover the pan and remove the meat. On a cutting board, cut the meat into small pieces to resemble gyro. Return the pieces to the pan and bake for another 10 minutes uncovered to brown.

  10. 10

    Serve with pita bread, French fries, tomatoes, tzatziki, or any way you like.

  11. 11

    For the pitas, dampen a piece of parchment paper and place the pitas inside after drizzling with a little oil, oregano, and salt. Wrap tightly and bake for 30 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

Βρήκα αυτό το site ψάχνοντας να βρω συνταγές για συγκεκριμένα φαγητά ή γλυκά. Διαπίστωσα ότι όποια συνταγή και να επέλεγα να δοκιμάσω ήταν τέλεια και το αποτέλεσμα φανταστικό. Θεωρώ ότι οι συμμετέχοντες είναι στην πλειοψηφία τους τέλειοι μάγειρες και μαγείρισσες. Α!! Ξέχασα να σας πω δυο κουβέντες για μένα. Την ηλικία μου δε θα σας την πω γιατί δεν τη βάζω ούτε στο βιογραφικό μου. Το μαγείρεμα το θεωρώ μεράκι και μαγειρεύω για να ηρεμίσω και να ξεκουραστώ. Είμαι παντρεμένη και έχω μια κόρη.
