Gyro with Fries
And it was awesome! I'm sure it's about as far from authentic as you can get, but I made a tzatzika sauce to go with it. The Greek Oven Fries from Recipezaar were a wonderful side and I've made them a couple more times with different seasonings. If you play with them, I'd suggest keeping the garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. But the rest is improv. What can be easier than preheating your oven and tossing potatoes with seasonings?
Apparently Blogger is in the mood for little pictures rather than medium ones. The best things come in small packages, right?
Tzatzika
1/3 cup vegenaise
1/2 tsp wet mustard
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 cup cucumber, chopped finely
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped finely
1 scallion, chopped finely
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp dill
pinch cayenne
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients together and let sit for about an hour so the flavors meld. Use it as the final touch on the sandwich. It's also great for dipping those fries!
Don't forget! Food Network Friday is right around the corner.

i've never had a meaty gyro, but this sounds so wonderful. i'd love a soft pita and some yummy seitan right about now.
Have to make these some weekend for the TeddyBear and I. Seems like a perfect light supper.

I've only had a seitan gyro also. Your meal sounds delicious with the potatoes! Thanks for the sauce recipe.

Anonymous, thanks so much for posting! I'm really glad the recipe worked for you.
It looks delicious but you have a slight spelling error (I'm Greek). It's Tzatziki or tsatsiki!
Karma, thanks so much for the correction. As you probably guessed, I'm not Greek. For some reason blogger won't let me correct it. But now I know for the future! Thanks.
