Souvlaki Gyros By Spyro
- 2 pounds pork meat good quality, make sure it's not too fatty, makes about 8 -10 skewers
- pita bread Greek, make sure you get the Greek and not Arabic Greek are bigger. My dad used Kronos Greek pita bread
- tzatziki
- onions
- tomatoes
- iceberg lettuce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 2 lemon fresh squeezed
- olive oil Greek
- beef You can substitute, for pork but beef becomes chewy when grilled.
- Try to cut your pork into cubes as best as possible, they will stay better on the skewer when grilling.
- Before you grill them, marinate them overnight. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, oregano and your wine. Mix your meat very well and place in refrigerator, if you are in a rush you can marinate them for 3 hrs before grilling, overnight just works a bit better.
- I usually grill them in the oven, I take a pan place water inside the pan, add a small grill rack on top of pan and grill on medium heat. Make sure you add water to the pan. When done in a plate add your lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, a bit of water, salt and pepper to taste.Add your souvlaki, marinate for a few minutes before placing in your pita bread.
- How you should put your ingredients together, I usually place two piece of tomatoes on the bottom and then all the ingredients and last the tzatziki sauce which I also top again with bar-b-q sauce.
- Wrap first in wax paper because it becomes a bit messy and then wrap in aluminum foil. Of course have extra napkins! ;)
- And your Souvlaki Gyro is ready, serve as is or with french fries.
