As in title. Greentext recipe and post photo.
gyro hack:
>coarsely chop shrooms (regular ones) and ONIONS
>add in non stick pan with little water
>add some oil too. You wanted gyro, it's not supposed to be too macro friendly.
>spice with salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, bit of chili and a tiny bit of cumin
>or just cajun mix if lazy
>add legumes for a better macro but worse texture tradeoff (worse in this context doesn't mean "bad", it means "less faithful to gyro")
>set on low, don't forget to shake or stir every now and then
>set finely chopped greens (any) onto wrap bread (any). I am partial to iceberg and white tortillas
>add mustard, ketchup, raw onion, hummus, garlic sauce, tzatziki, whatever you'd use normally
>wait until there's no water in the pan or until onions are completely soft and translucent (whichever comes last, if water evaporates too early then add more)
>serve, wrap, eat
sauteed mushrooms are incredibly close to the taste and texture of gyros.
if you're rich, buy shittake. They're even closer.
For 3 XL tortilla wraps I used 1 drained can of chickpeas (I prefer kidney beans but I just had chickpeas), 250 g regular mushrooms (the cheapest ones), half of a huge onion and 3 tbsp olive oil.
The raw part was a couple leaves of iceberg per wrap (finely chopped), a drizzle of vegannaise, no onions because I ran out (but they do fit the flavour profile if you have them), and the senap grov mustard from ikea.
If I did it again I would put a tiny bit of raw onion slices and just use a regular sour but non sweet mustard - this one from ikea goes better with neutral tastes like dogs or tofu, and this wrap is all but neutral in taste by itself

If you care to learn more:
Gyros is actual pieces of whole meat. Source material is pork, or chicken.
Doner is minced meat and it's either 50 lamb 50 beef, gull beef or chicken.
Both are grilled in vertical spits.

Don't be afraid of heat is good advice - thanks!

I'm always really wary of overcooking salmon as I done it once and it was pretty rough. But maybe I'm going too far the other way now.

>> No.10056226

>>10056198
It's a weird one, I've asked others and it seems a common thing when you first start cooking to be scared of undercooking so you keep the heat too high and burn things or dry them out. It's just fighting that "Ill get food poisoning and die ah!" voice in the back of your head.

No, you're wrong, you've only been in greece as a tourist and have only seen gyro served and not prepared. Shut up if you don't know.
Gyro is whole slabs of meat stacked vertically and sliced thin.
Doner is effectively a giant vertical meatball (minced meat, not slabs of meat) which is then sliced thin.
