How to Make Gyros Spice Mix With A Kick
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons dried oregano, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Transfer the spice mix to an airtight jar for storage.
- For marinating: In a bowl, whisk together 2-3 teaspoons of the spice mix, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or buttermilk/yogurt), and salt to taste.
- Add your chosen meat (chicken, lamb, pork, or ground meat) to the marinade. For small pieces, add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh coriander for extra freshness.
- Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Thread marinated meat onto skewers for kebabs, form into patties for burgers, or cook as desired. Cook time will vary depending on the type and cut of meat; approximately 10 minutes for small pieces.
