Gyros Platter Recipe

Gyros Meat Preparation

Begin by marinating your choice of thinly sliced pork or chicken in a blend of olive oil, garlic, oregano, lemon juice, and a hint of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Cook the meat on a hot grill or in a skillet over medium-high heat until it's golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. Let it rest before slicing into thin pieces.

Pita Bread Preparation

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or oven until they are slightly crispy on the outside but still soft and warm on the inside. Keep them wrapped in a clean cloth to stay warm.

Tzatziki Sauce Preparation

Prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and dill in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Fried Potatoes Preparation

Cut potatoes into wedges or slices, then fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt, pepper, and optionally paprika, immediately after frying.

Assembling the Gyros Platter

On a large platter, arrange the sliced gyros meat along with the warm pita bread. Add a generous amount of tzatziki sauce, sliced onions, fried potatoes, and a side of tomato sauce or ketchup-based dip. Serve immediately.
