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

Product Information

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!). 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 By far, my favorite way to use this amazing Mediterranean seasoning for gyros is, of course, to make homemade gyros! 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.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). As you can imagine, it’s VERY easy to make this incredibly delicious and versatile Mediterranean seasoning! 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. Roasted vegetables: Toss your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and red onion, with plenty of gyro marinade. Pop them in the oven and roast for around 30 minutes at 220C/425F or until tender and slightly caramelized. 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.

For the best results, if you have time let the meat marinate in the seasoning in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before cooking. Garlic powder: Substitute with dried onion powder if you don’t have garlic. Or you can use crushed fresh garlic instead, of course! It’s best to try to use oregano for the reason mentioned above. However, there are ways to subsitute oregano effectively if you don’t have any. In fact, I wrote a whole list of best oregano substitutes if that interests you!Made with just pantry ingredients, so easy to make at the last minute. Perfect for elevating a simple midweek meal! Garlic lover? Don’t be shy to amp up the garlic in the marinade. Add more dried garlic, or some crushed fresh garlic if you like. Following on from the above… consider mixing up the Greek seasoning blend (without the ‘wet ingredients) in a larger batch so that you always have some in the pantry on hand! 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! Play around with different herbs to switch up the flavor profile. Consider adding different dried Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, thyme, basil, marjoram, dill, mint or parsley.

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. 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.Before we get started, be sure to connect with The Daring Gourmet on Facebook to join in on all the foodie fun and to get the word on all the latest recipes!

Don’t serve any kind of meat seasoned with this gyro marinade without this 10-minute tsatziki sauce on the side. It’s such an easy, tasty and healthy recipe to have up your sleeve!
