Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix all gyro meat ingredients together in large mixing bowl and let sit overnight. If you don't have or like Montreal seasoning use salt and pepper to your taste. I just happen to prefer Montreal seasoning over plan salt and pepper on red meat.
- 2
Blitz the meat mixture in a food processor to get to a fine consistency. I had to do it in 4 batches in my processor. Once it's all done press into a well greased meatloaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Steps 1 and 2 can all be all in one day. I just took the approach of letting the meat marinade and also resting to firm up after blitzing. Chili always tastes better the next day so why not gyro meat.

Mix all the ingredients together for the Tzatziki sauce except the cucumber. Let sit overnight to allow the dried spices rehydrate a bit and flavor the yogurt. Don't over do the seasoning at the beginning because the flavors will intensify, if to strong more yogurt can be added.
- 5
Pre heat the oven to 400°. Add the grated and drained cucumber to the tzatziki sauce.
- 6
Bake the gyro meat covered for 15 minutes then uncover and bake for another hour. Keep an eye on it to make sure the meat doesn't get too much color, recover if needed to finishing cooking.
- 7
Drain the fat off and let the gyro meat rest for a few minutes. Stand on a cutting board lengthwise and shave off what you're going to eat right away.
- 8
Serve on homemade pitas with the tzatziki sauce and spinach pie on the side!

Greek Souvlaki ＆ Tzatziki Sauce Greek Souvlaki ＆ Tzatziki Sauce
This is my version of a recipe I saw on a cooking show in Canada. The word for "eatery" in Greek is "taverna." This sounds like "taberuna," in Japanese, which means "don't eat," so, it's an eating establishment where you can't eat? There are lots of "taverna" in Vancouver and they are very popular.Tzatziki is a versatile sauce that can be used for both meat and salad. Put chicken and salad topped with tzatziki in pita bread for a pita sandwich. I'm in love with this sauce. Recipe by LazyHata

While this recipe may take some time on your part, you will not regret your efforts by any means. I mean that! Neither will your family or guests! Just know that this recipe is so easy to follow, my 7 and 8 year old culinary students made this dish tonight with little supervision and, minimal follow up questions.This dish is so flavorful and downright juicy folks! Between the moisture in your brined chicken, especially your oversized mushrooms and your Tzatziki Sauce, you won't even need a beer to follow it up with! Hence the need to serve them with a thick, seasoned, absorbent, oversized piece of Naan Bread!Know that this dish also makes a great vegetarian option as well. As for the Tzatziki Sauce, it's a bit untraditional with the addition of the fresh minced chives and it being heavy on the sour cream as opposed to the Greek Yogurt. But, it certainly works! Especially for those who aren't exactly fond of the bitter / sour taste known to accompany Greek Yogurt. Tho the slight amount of sour Greek Yogurt added does pair nicely with the sweetness of the Vidalia Onions.Total manual prep time will take you approximately 60 minutes if making this dish for the first time alone. Total wait time will be much longer with the brine and marinating time.Of all the dishes I make, and I make many, this is my wife's, and all her friends favorite. In fact, everyone on their birthday gets a special, "dish wish." This one is easily the most requested next to my Green Chilie Stew.Use the freshest, crispiest garden vegetables, herbs, chicken and Naan breads for best results! Tip? Go heavy on the mushrooms!All pictures and directions taken by 7 and 8 year olds! Great work kiddos! I'm SO proud! 😆

This is great on alot of different things, like grilled meat and veggies. If you use a regular cucumber instead of an English cucumber, be sure to scrape the seeds out before dicing it. Also, if using freshly chopped dill weed instead of dried, use about 1 tbsp.
