Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 500 g turkey schnitzel or pork schnitzel
  • 1 onion(s)
  • 2 tbsp spice mix (gyro spice)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ red bell pepper(s)
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup(s) rice (long grain rice)
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cube of stock
  • 2 tsp paprika powder
  • 3 tbsp curd
  • 2 tbsp natural yogurt
  • 2 tbsp crème fraîche
  • 1 clove(s) garlic
  • 1 small cucumber, grated
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Place the water, rice, and stock cube in a heatproof bowl and cook in the microwave on full power for 15 minutes. Stir once, add the paprika, and cook for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the turkey cutlets into thin strips. Peel the onions, rinse them with cold water, and cut them into half rings. Place them in a bowl with the gyro seasoning and olive oil. Wash and chop the bell pepper and zucchini, and add them to the meat. Let them marinate for a while. It tastes best if it can marinate for a day or a few hours. Then fry the meat and vegetables in the oil on high. Once it has browned slightly, reduce the heat to 3/3 and cook for another 5-10 minutes. This depends on how cooked you like it. When you cut into a piece of meat, it should be beige throughout. Don’t overcook it, or the meat will become too tough! For the tzatziki, mix the quark, yogurt, and crème fraîche in a bowl. Press in the garlic clove and season with salt and pepper, then add the grated cucumber. It’s best to let it sit in the refrigerator for a while. This step can also be done before preparing the meat. Serve the gyro dish with rice and tzatziki.
