Prymat - Kebab-Gyros Seasoning with Dried Herbs and Spices, 30g

Product Information

Don’t be afraid to adapt the ingredients according to your taste or to what you have. Add more dried herbs (try thyme, basil, tarragon or even mint), or even a sprinkle of cinnamon which features in some Greek meat based dishes. Last week I posted my recipes for Greek Tzatziki Sauce and Greek Seasoning Blend. Now it’s time to combine those two recipes to make a third one! One that you’re going to fall in l.o.v.e. with! But this is by no means the only way to use gyro seasoning. Here are more ideas to bring a burst of Greek flavor to your dishes: To assemble, scoop about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture onto a pita or flabread, add some chopped red cabbage, tomatoes and onions, and spoon over some tzatziki sauce. For the best results, if you have time let the meat marinate in the seasoning in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

Or you can simply add all of the seasoning ingredients, both wet and dry, directly to the meat. I like to use large Ziploc bags for this. Simply seal the bag tightly, then squish and massage so that all the ingredients get well mixed together and completely cover all of the meat. You may be surprised to see that garlic powder and onion powder are not included in this spice blend. This is because I usually grind fresh onion and garlic with the meat mixture and this seasoning to make gyros. If you don't plan to do this, you can add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder to this gyro spice mix. A very simple version with just a few key flavors. It tastes authentic Greek but the ingredients list is kept fairly short! Roasted vegetables: Toss your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and red onion, with plenty of gyro marinade. Pop them in the oven and roast for around 30 minutes at 220C/425F or until tender and slightly caramelized. No lemon? No worries! White or red wine vinegar comes to the rescue as a worthy substitute, infusing your marinade with its own zesty acidity.Two options to choose from. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients and use as a gyro marinade for dinner that night. Alternatively, mix together the dry ingredients and store in a jar, then just add the wet ingredients to make a marinade or rub when you’re ready to cook. Greek lemon potatoes! Just trust me and make them. I’ve made them tens (if not hundreds) of times, and they never disappoint. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. If the meat is too dry add some more olive oil. Add more Greek Seasoning to taste.

Mustard: I like to add this for a little extra depth and complexity of flavor. It can also help to bind the other ingredients together, creating a more uniform coating on the meat. Dijon mustard is a good choice, or go for American or any yellow mustard. How to make gyro seasoning There is both overlap and differences between gyros and kebabs – this recipe is a bit of a blend of the two. I call them gyros because that name is more common here. This maroulosalata (Greek lettuce salad) is simple enough not to draw attention away from the star of the show (the delicious marinated meat!) but adds an interesting flavor twist to a simple green salad. The step-by-step guide below should help you make the recipe perfectly first time. Scroll down to the end for the full recipe including ingredient amounts. Sizzling skewers and kebabs: Create mouth-watering kebabs by threading marinated meat cubes, veggies, or a tasty combo onto skewers.

Seasoning for Pork Chops

Consider adding a pinch or two of other common Mediterranean spices. How about ground cinnamon, coriander, or nutmeg for a subtle boost in flavor? It’s best to try to use oregano for the reason mentioned above. However, there are ways to subsitute oregano effectively if you don’t have any. In fact, I wrote a whole list of best oregano substitutes if that interests you! Pour the yogurt into a coffee cup. Add the spring onions and garlic power, stir well. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and set aside).

Play around with different herbs to switch up the flavor profile. Consider adding different dried Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, thyme, basil, marjoram, dill, mint or parsley. Gyro seasoning is a magical blend of herbs and spices that bring the authentic flavors of Greece to your dishes. With a mix of dried herbs and spices, like oregano (of course!), paprika, garlic powder and cumin, it copies the distinct and very delicious taste found in traditional gyro meat.

Don’t serve any kind of meat seasoned with this gyro marinade without this 10-minute tsatziki sauce on the side. It’s such an easy, tasty and healthy recipe to have up your sleeve!

As already mentioned, you can either mix together only the dry ingredients and store them in your pantry, adding the wet ingredients (so honey, mustard and lemon juice) only when you’re ready to prepare your meal. Garlic powder: Substitute with dried onion powder if you don’t have garlic. Or you can use crushed fresh garlic instead, of course!
