Food
Not ramen, for a change.
Not even tacos.Pork gyros pita.
Felt like summer over here this weekend, and I was croaking for one of these.Used this slightly-modified recipe from Akis Petretzikis (https://akispetretzikis.com/en... but changed its method to work like J Kenji Lopez-Alt's home tacos al pastor recipe/method (which I made and posted here a couple of years ago: https://www.qbn.com/reply/409051…), and a good thing, too. The whole "vertical skewer in the oven" business looks like it would be a pain in the ass.
I say "slightly modified" because I wanted to see if I could get a bit of smoky flavour that comes with real gyros from the fact the fat spatters and burns on the heating elements around the vertical spit, thus producing smoke that gets in the meat.
So I swapped out the sweet paprika for sweet pimentón de la Vera, the swapped the normal salt out for smoked salt, and left some pieces of pork come as close to carbonising as I could reasonably let them in the frying pan before serving.
Net result: detectable smokiness once cooked and good char from those select bits of almost-carbonised pork, but absolutely not obnoxious or out of place. Will continue to make it this way.
I didn't do the full recipe, though, just half. 1 kilo of pork is more than enough for one or two people. And yields enough meat to freeze in portions when cooked (I figure you'd got a good 10-12 gyros out of it, provided your portions aren't truly over-large).
Tzatziki is homemade, as are the pitas.
Potatoes are also home-made. Heston Blumenthal's triple-cooked chips, but with the sodium bicarbonate in the cooking water trick from Kenji to make them even more crispy. It works.
Yup. Fucking good stuff, this.
And yields enough meat to freeze in portions when cooked.That's it. That's all I've got for you.
