Prymat - Kebab-Gyros Seasoning with Dried Herbs and Spices, 30g

Product Information

Gyro seasoning is a magical blend of herbs and spices that bring the authentic flavors of Greece to your dishes. With a mix of dried herbs and spices, like oregano (of course!), paprika, garlic powder and cumin, it copies the distinct and very delicious taste found in traditional gyro meat. For a creamier and tangier marinade, consider mixing in a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt. It adds a tanginess that complements the other flavors so well. It will also help to keep the meat moist. Lemon juice: This adds aromatic citrus notes to the seasoning blend, and provides a pleasant acidity that helps balance the richness of the meat and other spices. The natural acidity in lemon juice can also help break down proteins, resulting in juicier, more tender gyro meat! Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. If the meat is too dry add some more olive oil. Add more Greek Seasoning to taste. Honey: This adds a touch of natural sweetness, as well as a little delicious caramelization to the meat and acting as a glaze, coating the meat and helping to seal in moisture! All in all, it’s worth including!

Mediterranean roast potatoes: Toss parboiled potatoes with gyro marinade and roast at 425F/220C for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender and crisp for the most delicious roast potatoes you’ve even eaten (perhaps apart from these sensational Greek potatoes which I highly recommend you try too!). Two options to choose from. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients and use as a gyro marinade for dinner that night. Alternatively, mix together the dry ingredients and store in a jar, then just add the wet ingredients to make a marinade or rub when you’re ready to cook. As you can imagine, it’s VERY easy to make this incredibly delicious and versatile Mediterranean seasoning! But this is by no means the only way to use gyro seasoning. Here are more ideas to bring a burst of Greek flavor to your dishes:

French mustard

Consider adding a pinch or two of other common Mediterranean spices. How about ground cinnamon, coriander, or nutmeg for a subtle boost in flavor? Last week I posted my recipes for Greek Tzatziki Sauce and Greek Seasoning Blend. Now it’s time to combine those two recipes to make a third one! One that you’re going to fall in l.o.v.e. with!

Yes. If you’d like to store the gyro marinade for an extended period or want to make a larger batch, an alternative option is to freeze it in portions. Transfer it to freezer-safe containers or freezer bags, leaving some room for expansion, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw the frozen marinade in the refrigerator overnight before using it.

As already mentioned, you can either mix together only the dry ingredients and store them in your pantry, adding the wet ingredients (so honey, mustard and lemon juice) only when you’re ready to prepare your meal. Greek-inspired Burgers: Give your burgers a Greek twist by mixing the dry gyro seasoning into the ground meat. Shape the seasoned meat into patties and grill or pan-fry them to perfection. Pair these juicy burgers with tsatziki sauce, fresh tomato slices, and leafy greens. Variations Or you can simply add all of the seasoning ingredients, both wet and dry, directly to the meat. I like to use large Ziploc bags for this. Simply seal the bag tightly, then squish and massage so that all the ingredients get well mixed together and completely cover all of the meat. Greek lemon potatoes! Just trust me and make them. I’ve made them tens (if not hundreds) of times, and they never disappoint.

Lemon pepper: Lemon pepper may be substituted with a tablespoon of lemon juice added to 2 lbs of meat mixture. Don’t be afraid to adapt the ingredients according to your taste or to what you have. Add more dried herbs (try thyme, basil, tarragon or even mint), or even a sprinkle of cinnamon which features in some Greek meat based dishes.

Classic grill seasoning

You may be surprised to see that garlic powder and onion powder are not included in this spice blend. This is because I usually grind fresh onion and garlic with the meat mixture and this seasoning to make gyros. If you don't plan to do this, you can add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder to this gyro spice mix. Made with just pantry ingredients, so easy to make at the last minute. Perfect for elevating a simple midweek meal! Pour the yogurt into a coffee cup. Add the spring onions and garlic power, stir well. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and set aside).
