GREEK GYRO RECIPE - A GRECIAN TOASTED PIZZA



Greek Gyro Recipe - A Grecian Toasted Pizza image

While on a Grecian roll, I thought why not use a Greek Gyro. The "Gyro" is usually done in pita bread wrap, but a thin crust pizza bread will work just as well. Its base is crisp an crunchy and its toppings of asparagus, olives, chicken comforting to a foodie's soul.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

thin crust pizza bread ((used instead of pita bread))
5 - 6 cubes grated cheese ((my preference is for Amul cheese))
400 gm boneless chicken ((chopped into cubes))
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp garlic ((chopped fine, to give it a mild flavour))
2 medium-sized tomatoes ((chopped))
1 onion ((chopped fine))
1 tbsp asparagus ( (chopped))
4 tbsp dark olives ((rings))
1 tsp sea salt with herbs ((Carmencite brand))
1 tbsp "Pizza Mixed Herbs" ((readymade, available at stores))
½ tsp chilli flakes
4 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • As with all recipes, oil has to be heated first, and so the olive oil goes in first. (Remember to not overheat the oil owing to its smoking point).
  • Add the chopped garlic. When the flavour of garlic seasoning infuses the air, add the chopped chicken cubes and sautee.
  • Then let the chopped asparagus and onions follow, together.
  • Sprinkle a spoonful of salt, mixed herbs, chilli flakes and sautee.
  • Then comes the dark olive rings, and sea salt.
  • Finally, the grated cheese tossed a bit for a minute. Turn off the stove. Let's call this the "cooked mix".
  • Using a pizza cutter, pre-cut the pizza bread into triangles, then place them on a baking tray (see featured image).
  • Top the pizza triangles with the "cooked mix".
  • Place the loaded pizza triangles into a pre-heated OTG at 175 degrees and bake for 10 to 15 minutes till crisp.

1/2 lb lean ground turkey (at least 90%)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 oz)
3/4 cup coarsely chopped cucumber

4 thin slices red onions
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Press pizza dough in bottom and slightly up sides of pan to form crust. Bake about 7 minutes or until crust just begins to turn brown on edges.
  • Meanwhile, in 6-inch skillet, cook turkey and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until turkey is no longer pink. Stir in oregano and salt.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pizza will taste. This is especially true for the chicken, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before adding it to the pizza. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients on a pizza, so don't skimp on quality. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings: Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and difficult to eat. Stick to a few simple toppings that you enjoy.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help the pizza cook evenly and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
