BBQ rotisserie gyros

The cook, step by step.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Done

   To begin with, we first remove the pork neck from the packaging and dab it well dry around. Then we cut the pork neck into slices of about 1 cm thick. After you have done so, the pork neck slices can be placed in the ziplock bag and mix all dry herbs for the herb mix with the sunflower oil. Mix this well and then throw it in the ziplock bag near the pork neck.

   Step 2

   Then we massage the meat in the ziplock bag just as long until we feel that the herbs have really come everywhere. Then put the ziplock bag in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 4 hours. Twist the bag halfway around so that the herbs that have fallen to the bottom can pass through the meat again.

   Then we have time to prepare the tzatziki. Grate the half cucumber very fine and put it in a clean tea towel. Then squeeze all the moisture from the cucumber with the tea towel. There's a little bit left, but this is good. Then add this cucumber pulp together with all other ingredients for the tzatziki in a tray and stir it well. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Then place covered in the refrigerator.

   After at least 4 hours of marinating, halve an onion. Thread one half onto the rotisserie spit, followed by the pork slices one at a time. Finish with the other onion half and tighten the rotisserie forks firmly.

   Step 5

   Done

   Now it's time to run the gyros on the spit. We only fill the back of the coal basket so that the meat is not exposed to direct radiation heat all the time. This way the temperature is better controlled. We're going for a dome temperature of 175 degrees Celsius. Make sure to keep the lid closed as much as possible, as this way you can keep the temperature stable.

   Step 6

   Done

   Then cut off a layer of the gyros when you feel that the outside is beautifully brown and crispy and store it separately in a tray until you have completely cut it. At the end I warm up the entire load of gyros indirectly so everyone can eat at once.

   Step 7

   Done

   Finally, cut the other half cucumber and the red onion into crescent moons. Finally, prepare the fries and pitas according to the method of preparation on the package. Fill this with meat, fries, red onion and cucumber and a big dot of fresh tzatziki. Fold the pitas with aluminum foil as shown in the picture. Now attack! Enjoy your own made gyros!
