  • Inside out Gyro on a stick Fattie.

    As requested here is the "recipe" for my Gyro fattie I did a few years back for a throwdown at the other place.

    This is my Gyro on a stick fatty. The Idea was to take a relatively simple thing to make like a Gyro and make it waaaaaay more complicated.
    Anyway here is how I did it.

    First I made some traditional Gyro meat.
    Ground lamb
    Onion (liquified in a food processor and wrang through a tea towel to get rid of excess moisture)
    Ground marjorom
    Ground rosemary
    Salt
    Pepper
    Minced fresh garlic




    Put all ingredients into a food processor until it is a smooth paste.




    I put that mixture into a ziploc bag and flattened. On to the other ingredients.
    1 lamb rack
    2 onions (thinly sliced and sweated until very soft)
    Pita bread



    Here is the lamb out of the package.



    And here it is Frenched, fat cap removed, and trimmed. I used kitchen twine to tie around each bone and pull off all of the tissues so that the bones would be very clean.



    Next I very carefully started to cut and roll out the meat from the bone. A razor sharp knife is crucial.



    Next I pounded it out thin and evenly under some plastic wrap.



    All pounded out and ready to stuff.



    I put the Gyro meat on the bottom, the lamb rack next, then the pita and grilled onions. Forgot to take a couple pictures during those steps.



    Here it is rolled up and sealed.



    Wrapped up and ready for the chill.



    Time to make the Tzatziki sauce!

    Plain yogurt (put in a strainer and drained for 1 hour in the fridge)
    1 cucumber (peeled, seeded, finely chopped and wrang through a tea towel)
    Salt
    Minced fresh garlic
    Extra virgin olive oil
    Red wine vinegar
    Fresh mint



    Mix all ingredients and chill.

    I smoked the fatty with cherry wood at 225 degrees for 2 and a half hours. Here it is out of the smoker.



    Side view.



    And finally, sliced up on the plate with sauce on the side and a salad.



    Close up. You could actually pick it up and eat it off of the bone.



    In conclusion it was fantastic. I probably wont do it again, but I had fun making it and that was what it was all about.

    Thanks for checking out my fatty!

          I meant to add that if I ever did something like this again I would not put the pita inside, it got a little soggy. It wasn't bad, but would be better on the side.
