Good to see you. We will be using some pork today. Whitney yes, we are making porkstyle gyros. Were usually a really nice cut of pork here. Its very fast cooking. Im going to show you how to do the tzatziki sauce. Its what you find on all of your gyros. Sheila whats the name of the sauce again . Whitney tzatziki. Dont ask me how to spell it but thats how you say it. Sheila make at home. And, thats what really makes the gyro. I have made a gyro with every kind of protein imagined. I think they all taste simular as long as you have a good sauce. So, i used some tenderized pork loin slices and they have been run through the meat tenderizer. So, you kind of see i dont know if your camera can pick it up. But, there are little holes there because of the meat tenderizer. It makes them very lean and very easy to cook. You dont even need knife. Sheila you did that at home or did the store do it . Whitney this is done at the meat counter they will do it for you. You could use regular pork loin pieces as well. I really like this one because you can cook it on the stove, in the oven or on the grill. You cant mess it up since it has been tenderized. So, you just want to cook that. I did mine in the oven because i think thats the easiest. Then, i laid it on some flat bread. Thats another really classic part of a gyro. So, to make our sauce, i just have some plain yogurt. You could use greek yogurt as well if you have cucumber. I left the skin on my cucumber, but you do want to take the seeds out. Because it does add an usual texture. And, it makes it a little too watery. Then add some red onion, a little bit of garlic as well. You could use some Garlic Powder as well if you didnt want to use real garlic. Some fresh dill and then some fresh cracked pepper. This is one of those sauces that does taste better the longer than it sits. I like to make this ahead of time because the flavors really meld together. This will thin out a little bit which is really nice when you put it on the gyro. Sheila im going to try this really quickly. Whitney the tzatziki sauce. Sheila i love it, but i really dont have a spoon. Whitney its really easy to make and i think people who havent made it before will really surprise. Let me show you the finished product. Sheila some people call this cucumber sauce too. Whitney yes, or cucumberdill. As long as you have the cucumber, dill and yogurt you will really be set. Sheila you could leave out the onion. Whitney yes, you could leave out some of the other ingredients that you dont like. Its a great meal and really easy.
