Another quick recipe for a weeknight dish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

  • Some Shoulder pork steaks, one per person (3 or 4 in this case).
  • 4x Greek Yoghurt. 2 for the marinade, 2 for the sauce
  • 1 Lemon, 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil, two cloves of Garlic.
  • 1 tsp Cumin, 1tsp Ground Coriander, a pinch of Salt, 1/2 tsp Pepper.
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika, 2 tsp of mixed dried herbs.
  • 2 Large tomatoes.
  • 1 Large onion
  • 3 or 4 Gyros breads, if you can find them, or simply Pita Bread.
  • Parsley, dried or fresh (The classic would be Mint but I prefer Parsley).
  • 1/4 of a Cucumber. (roughly peeled and de-seeded)
  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • Ideally, a few wooden skewers
  • More cucumber as garnish is also allowed….

 

How to Make:

  • Cut the steaks into thin slices (2 or 3mm thick)
  • Slice the tomatoes thinly and de-seed. Slice the onion thinly, reserve for the final serving.
  • Mix the two yoghurts with the spices, lemon juice, olive oil, and crushed garlic. This will be the marinade.
  • Marinate the pork for an hour in the fridge.
  • Make the Tzatziki sauce with two yoghurts, finely chopped cucumber, a single clove of crushed garlic, and one tablespoon of olive oil. (optional, a bit of lemon)
  • Add Parsley, Salt, and Pepper to your taste.
  • Once the pork is ready, cook in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes on 195 degrees. (You can use the skewers to keep things a bit more tidy and manageable inside the Air-fryer.

Serve with a few chips and a beer! (Either prepare each Gyro or let your guest decide how to stuff the pitta with all the goodness you have prepared).
