Gyros are probably one of Greece’s most famous foods. Typically a street food, gyro meat is cooked to perfection on a conical rotisserie then shaved off. The meat is served on a pita with tzatziki and garnishes. This recipe skips the rotisserie, but gets a similar flavor experience from pan-fried patties. The homemade tzatziki finishes the sandwich and immediately transports you to the Greek islands.
I'm a professional photographer and storyteller based in Portland, Oregon. I'm also a globetrotting foodie and culinary explorer. I'm obsessed with bold seasonings and take pride in my ever-growing spice collection. As a self-taught home chef/baker, I occasionally share the kitchen with two amazing sous chefs (my husband and young daughter). When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me planning my next flavor adventure, whether it be on the road or in my kitchen.
