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

What did you eat today, Veeky Forums?
So far, whiskey and sprite.
I made some fresh tortellini for dinner, Introduced a red pepper balsamic, some paprika, flash froze it then tossed it on a bed of romaine and spinach, with some shreaded gouda.
>sauteed mushrooms are incredibly close to the taste and texture of gyros.
Bullshit, vegan fag
They can get pretty flavorful if you marinate them for a while, although. Not sure it's exactly the same as like.. delicious lamb in a gyro
>sesame bagel toasted with butter
>4 strips of streaky bacon
>2 red potatoes diced and cooked in the bacon fat
>a liter of water
>about 4 vodkas
>leftover rice, microwaved
>egg cracked into rice
>soy sauce
>I can't cook
wrong board fag
it's pretty close to pork.
Gyro is not from lamb btw. Doner is from lamb.
Out of curiosity, how exactly does the egg help the rice? I know japanese dishes to it, and I tried to emulate it once but it just ended up being a fried egg sitting on a bed of white rice, and the two were just entirely seperate entities.
>gyro
Are we talking like greek gyro meat? or something else.
yep
Why would you sub it? Gyro is like the most godly meat on the planet, especially for its price.
are you just starting out in life or what
didn't mant to eat meat desu
probably vegan
>i've never had lamb
wrong board fag
Can't say i've ever had lamb either, but thats because it isn't common around here.
I love wrapped stuff
>i insist that gyros is made from lamb even though I'm neither turkish nor greek
last (You)vote you're getting from me
oh I thought the meats were interchangeable! every day I learn some more
Melted quesillo with totopos
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.
>gull
full*, as in 100%
It was just egg in rice. You let the steam of the rice cook the egg. The result is a creamy textured rice with that savory egg flavor.
i had whole milk yogurt with dry muesli
cup of instant coffee
for lunch i had a sandwich and a salad
light rye
dill pickle slices
dijon mustard
lunch meat turkey lol
the salad was a caesar salad kit
i might have a grilled cheese for dinner, or nothing at all. i haven't decided yet
Got my whole day planned out already, actually.
Breakfast:
>Greek yogurt w/ broken up granola
>Banana
>2 Pineapple rings
Lunch:
>Toasted BLT, Honey wheat bread, Pepperjack cheese, Bacon and green leaf, with mayo.
Dinner:
Fresh made Chicken tenders
>Refrozen chicken breast
>Flour/panko/egg mix
>lemon for flavoring with black pepper seasoning
>Bake for 50 minutes at 450
>serve with small salad comprised of Green, Red and bleu with croutons and julliened carrots
> hack
Made it myself.
added kidney beans into the "meat"
filling for tortilla:
hummus, "meat", lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, shredded vegan cheese.
Pan fried salmon with spinach lemon and dill. Mashed cauliflower on the side.
I'm working on getting a really crispy skin on the salmon - not quite there yet. It was a little undercooked but it went really well with the lemon!
Fried green tomato blt with cajun remoulade, two anissete biscotti, 2 cups of tea, a handful of almonds, a few bites of Greek yogurt, and a spoonful of sour cream.
Score your skin, mah dude.
nigger what are you doing
chicken noodle soup. some beans. I don't feel like cooking.
Breakfast - Bowl of dry muesli; glass of water
Morning snack - salted cashews
Lunch - 4 slices toast with marmalade
Evening meal - oats, quark, eggs mixed together and pan cooked like an omelette. Used honey to sweeten it.
Oh will do thanks! Got more salmon for tea tomorrow!
Score the skin and don't be afraid of heat, going skin side down first to crisp it up then turning down the heat to finish the salmon off should work.
No souvlaki is whole pieces of meat, gyro and Donner are the same.
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.
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.
Shhh let him enjoy his carb wrap and think he's a good person for eating it
Salmon tastes good on it's own and doesn't need a lot of heat.
That's definitely true.
Gotta say though even though the salmon was pretty undercooked it was so tasty.
Scrambled Egg
Miso Soup
inbetween some nuts
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.
>stop enjoying things I don't enjoy!
Yeah I mean just for the crispy skin. You can even crisp it up and then turn the heat off completely and just use the heat from the pan to finish it.
Britfag remembers.
Britfag says eat your soup.
Potato and adzuki beans.
3 big onions.
Ginger and cloves.
Honey.
Britfag remembers
oh shit
forgot to ask you in the Veeky Forums thread
how did you get that consistency? did you blend the potatoes or something?
>Getting your information from wikipedia and pretending to be grecian
How sad.
Soft Rye with mayo spread
Scrambled Eggs
Boar's Head Pastrami
Sopressata salami
Baby Swiss Cheese
Dijon Mustard
Dice the potato's fine as fuck. Then boil them to fuck so they disintegrate when you beat it with a fork.
I'd usually blend but the cunts died on me.
Oh and fry the diced potato with the onion - with salt+sugar before adding water
>he went to wikipedia to fact check my knowledge in the hopes of proving me wrong
>he realised he got schooled
>THIS was the BEST he could come up with to have the last word and feel superior
I don't even know what wikipedia says about gyro but if they agree with me, they're right.
There is literally nothing wrong with admitting you just don't know something. It will even make you feel good. Watch this:
Thanks bro, I'll make comfy soup after the midterm end pub crawl. Appreciate :)
You seem angry friendo
...
calm down fegget
Made some scallops with some saffron, served with zucchini noodles with pesto sauce.
Overcooked the scallops by a few seconds but the zucchini were fucking perfect.
Also made some chocolate-rum panna cotta for dessert.
Breakfast was oatz and peanut butter.
Do you really need a recipe for steamed broccoli and a baked sweet potato?
I added horseradish and Tabasco sauce to the broccoli.
Bonus points if you can guess where I made the meal.
>""""hack""""
>"add some oil too"
>cajun mix, mustard and ketchup on a gyro

Yes, especially if it's super crispy.
Nope.
Looks like a big slop of shit.
Chicken vindaloo with tofu rice and keema naan.

Meant to say mac and cheese last.
Yes you are right, these noobs dont know what real gyro is. Its mostly pork in greece not lamb/beef mixture that they have in the US.
You are a dummy.
wrong, real greek gyro is pieces of highly salted pork on a spit.
Saltwater flush for breakfast. Maple cayenne lemonade for the rest of the day. Smooth Move tea in the evening.
