Both of these Turkish foods. Do research please.
A passable attempt… however I believe gyro meat is a mixture of beef and lamb, and you are supposed to cut around the loaf to get only the crusty parts. I also don't recall ever getting lettuce in a gyro – just onion and tomato, and you use flat bread not pita bread… aside from not actually being a gyro it is perfect.
Add dill to your Tzaziki sauce instead of mint. You're welcome…
I'm Greek and I would NEVER drain anything!!
draining that sauce is retarded
The only thing you forgot was some Feta Cheese. Looks yummy…
Thanks
Don't be cheap with the meat. mate 🙂
i m sure u are aware this is not greek gyro, but u wanted to present it as greek.
Whoever comes to greece will understand what i m talking about.
edit: we dont even eat lamb gyro….
Great video! well done
Looks good. Making the sauce just drain the cucumber not the sauce and also grate the cucumbers.
Man I really like what u did for the kebab I was thinking about using a turkey fryer rack for the meat and hang it in my barrel smoker I would also like to see a video on making a beef or chicken doner kebab
That’s my favorite food I love gyro it looks delicious
2:41 fleshlight lookin ass
I'm glad you made that for yourself because you didn't wash your hands after you lick your finger
I think the white sauce is better with dill instead of mint n my opinion,but a great video
Also don’t forget the Pit Barrel Cooker is manufactured in China- not the United States. If that is relevant here.
Gross use cheese cloth…awesome recipe
Looks great but you drained that sauce too much, that's the dryest most solid tzatziki sauce ive ever seen, everything else was spot on
Suggestion- cleaner and easier to salt the veges and drain in the sink, we like lamb shoulder for our gyros (pulled pork) but that looks cool on the PBC.doing a bone in lamb shoulder on my PBC today. Don`t forget the FETA cheese!
This is not how you make tzatziki you need to get all the water out of the cucmber tezeke, has to be kinda liqiudy and thic not creamy. Amd the gyro is wrong
The only thing that need to drain is the cucumber at the beginning not the tzatziki!
There is just something missing! I’m not exactly sure! It doesn’t have that taste from my favorite place! Close but no cigar!
Dude not even close! That's not Greek!
Why did you strain your sauce
That looks delicious
No thats not it 😢 It needs feta cheese😁😁😁
I can't believe you're using crushed garlic out of a jar.
No lettuce on traditional gyros
Thank you 😊
This is not gyros this is turkish doner..to make gyro you put slises of Meat one up on the other and u make a tower and as it turns it bakes and it become crispy and juicy. Its called gyros because in greek gyros (yiros) means turn .. Also to make tzatziki u first drain the cucamber and then u add it i to the yogurt.. Also u put a lot more olive oil and paper.. U dont drain the final product
Nailed it! Yummy is an understatement 🙂
This is not gyro. Please don’t embarrass yourself
I Like it when people make a video how to do it, but they don't tell you how much ingredients to put in it. You can't make gyro without oregano!
You might try sweating the cucumbers to draw out all the fluid and then squeeze through a towel then adding to the yogurt
I might end up roasting it in a loaf pan on a charcoal grill.
Yummy
I always drain my yogurt a daughter or two so it's almost like cream cheese. I also grate, salt, and drain the cucumber. I prefer dill instead of mint and lemon juice for the acid.
From the D (burbs) but since I don't have a flank of lamb to put on a spit, this looks like a great alternative.
Love Tzatziki sauce! Any excuse to eat this sauce! #TheSandwichStory #Πώςφτιάχνουμετζατζίκι
Can you Please show us how to make one of those Scues that your using there,?
I have never had or seen it with mint, and I've eaten a lot tzatziki in the U..S and in Greece Typically it's made with a little fresh dill.
Good job, authentic. Thanks.
