Questions about Gyro sandwich
What usually goes in a gyro sandwich?
It is usually thinly sliced, seasoned meat tucked into warm pita with tzatziki, tomato and onion. Chips or a few chips inside are common additions, though the fillings vary.
How can you make gyro meat at home without a vertical spit?
For a quick version, season thin strips of pork or chicken with oregano, garlic, salt and pepper, then fry them in a very hot pan until browned and cooked through. Serve straight away in warm pita.
How do you stop a gyro sandwich going soggy?
Warm the pita briefly, then add the meat and vegetables just before serving. Keep the tzatziki on the side or spread only a thin layer inside.
How should you store leftover gyro meat and pita?
Refrigerate cooked meat promptly in a covered container and use within three days; keep pita and salad separate so they stay fresh. Reheat the meat until steaming hot, then assemble the sandwich.
What should you serve with a gyro sandwich?
Greek-style salad, lemony roast potatoes or chips all work well. Tzatziki and a wedge of lemon make simple accompaniments if the sandwich is served without much salad.
