Rice Base

Gyro Meat

Tzatziki Sauce

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Rice

  1. 1

    Cook Basmati Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine basmati rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Cook the Gyro Meat

  1. 2

    Prepare the Gyro Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground lamb or beef, minced garlic, grated onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.

  2. 3

    Cook the Gyro Meat

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meat mixture, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare Tzatziki Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, and salt. Stir until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Assemble the Gyro Rice Bowl

  1. 5

    Build the Bowl

    In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice as the base. Top with the cooked gyro meat, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a drizzle of tzatziki sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
