Classic Gyros with Homemade Tzatziki Sauce and Pita Bread
Ingredients:
For the Gyro base-
2 packages baby bella mushrooms (or your favorite mushroom!)
2 TBS avocado oil
1/2 tsp each: garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, thyme, rosemary, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp parsley
​
For the Tzatziki Sauce-
1 Cup dairy-free plain yoghurt
3/4 Cup unpeeled, finely diced cucumber (remove seeds)
2 TBS fresh dill (you may use 2 tsp dried dill, but the flavor is much better with fresh)
1 tsp fresh mint (optional)
Juice from 1/2 a lemon (2 TBS)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
​
For the Pita Bread-
1 Cup + 2 TBS AP flour
3/4 Cup dairy-free yoghurt
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
​
​
Directions:
For the Pita Bread-
1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl until it forms a smooth ball.
2. Cut the dough ball 6 ways (almost like cutting pie) then, roll into 6 smaller balls of dough.
3. Roll out very thin (don't worry, these will puff up while frying!) and pan fry on medium heat.
​
For the Tzatziki Sauce-
1. Simply combine all ingredients in a bowl and store in the fridge until ready to use!
​
For the Gyro Base-
1. Slice mushrooms into relatively thick slices and add into a large bowl.
2. Toss in avocado oil and sprinkle all of the spices on top. Toss once more and pan fry until medium firm.
​
Enjoy with freshly sliced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and thinly sliced lettuce!
