The only thing that need to drain is the cucumber at the beginning not the tzatziki!
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
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!
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
Gross use cheese cloth…awesome recipe
Also don’t forget the Pit Barrel Cooker is manufactured in China- not the United States. If that is relevant here.
I think the white sauce is better with dill instead of mint n my opinion,but a great video
I'm glad you made that for yourself because you didn't wash your hands after you lick your finger
2:41 fleshlight lookin ass
That’s my favorite food I love gyro it looks delicious
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
Looks good. Making the sauce just drain the cucumber not the sauce and also grate the cucumbers.
Great video! well done
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….
Don't be cheap with the meat. mate 🙂
Thanks
I'm Greek and I would NEVER drain anything!!
Add dill to your Tzaziki sauce instead of mint. You're welcome…
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.
Both of these Turkish foods. Do research please.
“Alright, let’s give this a try” after there’s obviously already been a bite taken out of the sandwich.
Προτα στραγγίζεις το γιαούρτι .και μετά κανης το τσαζικη 😀
Looks like a Yummy sandwich..🍘……
use a salad spinner to extra the moisture of the chopped onions its easier man
And that's why they fall apart.
You gotta layer the sauce to hold the ingredients together
It looks dry sauce looks too thick. I'm sure it taste great. I would leave the mint think it would take away from the cucumber.
So that was your attempt at making gyros? I'm sure it tasted good but it was not an authentic gyro.I cringed when you were squeezing the tzatziki instead of the cucumbers. With that said we'll give you an A for effort but please don't squeeze the tzatziki.
This is not a gyros .this is kebap.
Alex from greece
Where's the feta cheese
SMELL GREECE 🇬🇷🇬🇷🔥🔥❤
By all means send me a dozen right away!👍
Gyros is not made of minced meat. Some sell it so they can reduce the cost. But you should try a real gyros
I bet this guys laundry room smells better than his kitchen
Ok so how do you keep it from being dry? It look dry and not just at all
The meat looks like Road Kill.
Probably will try baking it in the oven instead.
Love the homemade cookware
This is brilliant.
Well if I was to make ,a gyro,that's how I would make it ,steak sour cream ,onions,green peppers,swiss cheese,,a little ,of mild sauce
Can you do it on a rotisserie spit
I like gyros but don’t know why the need of strain the juices of the condiments, to me it’s good to add the juices to the already dry meet. Plus you get the vitamins and flavor of the cucumber and onion. Carne azada and salsa tacos
this looks stupid
More seasonings please .looks good though
Have you got a good recipe for pitta bread?
Damn squeeze some lemon on it dude
