Do you like it crispy ?

Then this might be the right stuff for you :biggrin:

Cooked some Gyros for a party with some co-workers today.
Boneless Pork Butt sliced thin and marinated with a store bought gyros seasoning that i upgraded with fresh thyme, oregano, Garlic, Onions and Olive Oil. Roasted it on the pig roaster over lump charcoal and grapevine branches.

Sides were tzatzíki, slaw, pita bread, bacon wraqpped dates with cream cheese stuffing, french fries and ouzo .

Cheers,

That food looks incredible! You were not kidding when you said fresh spices! What kind of flavor do grapevine branches make? Bet your co-workers had a blast.

[koloa]

is that how gyro meat is made? simply slice pork butt into ham like slices, marinate, and then stake them on a stick?

Don, that looks fantastic. A little more specifics on how you did that would be helpful as that is definately a culinary work of art. Man that look awsome!!!!!

 

[Leeper]

wow - that is a great idea to use the rotis for one of these days. I would love to know more on how you put it together.

Its quite easy but a real mess. :twisted:

Just slice the pork about 3/4 to 1" thick and marinade them (using lots of olive oil in the marinade). Make sure every slice is well seasoned.

Then just poke a hole into each slice and mount it to the spit. Build the fire and after about an hour you can start slicing the crispy and juicy goodness off.
If you feed a group you have to work ahead a bit and keep the sliced pieces warm in a chafer to be prepared for dinner time. People then can get there second, third and fourth plate fresh off the spit. :biggrin:
