Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gyro Meat

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Gyro Meat

    Shape the meat mixture into patties or logs. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the meat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fried Zucchini

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, egg, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Dip zucchini slices in the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Then coat in breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Zucchini

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry zucchini slices until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Tzatziki

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, and salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, serve the gyro meat alongside the fried zucchini and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
