Prymat - Kebab-Gyros Seasoning with Dried Herbs and Spices, 30g

Product Information

There is both overlap and differences between gyros and kebabs – this recipe is a bit of a blend of the two. I call them gyros because that name is more common here. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. If the meat is too dry add some more olive oil. Add more Greek Seasoning to taste. Greek-inspired Burgers: Give your burgers a Greek twist by mixing the dry gyro seasoning into the ground meat. Shape the seasoned meat into patties and grill or pan-fry them to perfection. Pair these juicy burgers with tsatziki sauce, fresh tomato slices, and leafy greens. Variations

Garlic powder: Substitute with dried onion powder if you don’t have garlic. Or you can use crushed fresh garlic instead, of course! Mustard: I like to add this for a little extra depth and complexity of flavor. It can also help to bind the other ingredients together, creating a more uniform coating on the meat. Dijon mustard is a good choice, or go for American or any yellow mustard. How to make gyro seasoningA very simple version with just a few key flavors. It tastes authentic Greek but the ingredients list is kept fairly short!

Play around with different herbs to switch up the flavor profile. Consider adding different dried Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, thyme, basil, marjoram, dill, mint or parsley. Two options to choose from. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients and use as a gyro marinade for dinner that night. Alternatively, mix together the dry ingredients and store in a jar, then just add the wet ingredients to make a marinade or rub when you’re ready to cook. Consider adding a pinch or two of other common Mediterranean spices. How about ground cinnamon, coriander, or nutmeg for a subtle boost in flavor? Gyro seasoning is a magical blend of herbs and spices that bring the authentic flavors of Greece to your dishes. With a mix of dried herbs and spices, like oregano (of course!), paprika, garlic powder and cumin, it copies the distinct and very delicious taste found in traditional gyro meat.

Ground Smoked Sweet Pepper

For a creamier and tangier marinade, consider mixing in a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt. It adds a tanginess that complements the other flavors so well. It will also help to keep the meat moist. To assemble, scoop about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture onto a pita or flabread, add some chopped red cabbage, tomatoes and onions, and spoon over some tzatziki sauce.

Mediterranean roast potatoes: Toss parboiled potatoes with gyro marinade and roast at 425F/220C for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender and crisp for the most delicious roast potatoes you’ve even eaten (perhaps apart from these sensational Greek potatoes which I highly recommend you try too!). Last week I posted my recipes for Greek Tzatziki Sauce and Greek Seasoning Blend. Now it’s time to combine those two recipes to make a third one! One that you’re going to fall in l.o.v.e. with! As you can imagine, it’s VERY easy to make this incredibly delicious and versatile Mediterranean seasoning! Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce (ideally you will have done this ahead of time as it needs to sit in the fridge for at least an hour).Lemon juice: This adds aromatic citrus notes to the seasoning blend, and provides a pleasant acidity that helps balance the richness of the meat and other spices. The natural acidity in lemon juice can also help break down proteins, resulting in juicier, more tender gyro meat! No lemon? No worries! White or red wine vinegar comes to the rescue as a worthy substitute, infusing your marinade with its own zesty acidity. Don’t serve any kind of meat seasoned with this gyro marinade without this 10-minute tsatziki sauce on the side. It’s such an easy, tasty and healthy recipe to have up your sleeve! Made with just pantry ingredients, so easy to make at the last minute. Perfect for elevating a simple midweek meal! Roasted vegetables: Toss your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and red onion, with plenty of gyro marinade. Pop them in the oven and roast for around 30 minutes at 220C/425F or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Pour the yogurt into a coffee cup. Add the spring onions and garlic power, stir well. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and set aside). You may be surprised to see that garlic powder and onion powder are not included in this spice blend. This is because I usually grind fresh onion and garlic with the meat mixture and this seasoning to make gyros. If you don't plan to do this, you can add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder to this gyro spice mix. Honey: This adds a touch of natural sweetness, as well as a little delicious caramelization to the meat and acting as a glaze, coating the meat and helping to seal in moisture! All in all, it’s worth including! Yes. If you’d like to store the gyro marinade for an extended period or want to make a larger batch, an alternative option is to freeze it in portions. Transfer it to freezer-safe containers or freezer bags, leaving some room for expansion, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw the frozen marinade in the refrigerator overnight before using it.
