–RECIPE–
THE MEAT BLEND
▪100g (½ medium) onion, rough chopped
▪3-4 cloves garlic
▪450g or 1lb of 90/10 ground beef
▪450g or 1lb 85/15 ground lamb
▪50g or 1/2c breadcrumbs (i like panko)
▪2g or 2tsp dried oregano
▪5g or 2 ¾tsp coriander
▪3g or 1 1/3tsp black pepper
▪1-2g or 1tsp chile flake
▪7g or 1Tbsp ground cumin
▪10g or 1tsp salt

Add onion and garlic to a food processor and process until minced. Add meats, breadcrumbs, herbs and spices. Process until just combined and meat is broken down. Texture should be sticky.

Measure meat mixture into 6 balls (about 175g each). Shape each ball into an oblong/oval shaped patty. Stick 2 skewers (well soaked in water if wood) through the meat and squeeze to help hold it together. You can omit skewers if you don’t have them.

Preheat grill on high. Inside temp should reach 450-500F/230-260C.

(alternately you can cook these under a medium broiler if you don’t have access to a grill but keep a close eye on them to be sure they don’t burn)

Clean and oil grill grates. Spray or brush oil on meat patties then place them on the grill to cook for 4-5min, lid closed. Flip to side 2, lower lid and grill for 3-4 more minutes. When done, internal temp should be at 150F/63-65C.

Allow meat to rest for 5 min. Remove skewers. Slice meat into pieces similar to the size of euro meat.

▪75g 1/3c mayo

PUTTING IT TOGETHER
(additional ingredients needed)
Fluffy flour tortillas (or good pitas if you can find them)

Toast tortilla or pita on both slides and hold in a tortilla warmer or small container with a lid until you’re ready to build the “gyros”.

Add meat to tortilla/pita, top with a generous drizzle of the lemony yogurt sauce, crumbled feta, pepperoncinis, and a large spoonful of the cucumber tomato salad.
