Greek Gyros With Tzatziki Sauce



Or...the yummiest chicken kebab you'll ever eat.
I haven't travelled as much as I have wanted to in my 25 years but one of the places I have visited was Greece and the local gyros blows any chicken kebab you've ever had out of the water.

Here is a delightfully syn free and low fat version of gyros. Made with a garlic and herb cauliflower flat bread. This recipe does have a lot of ingredients and take a little bit more time and patience to make but it is immeasurably worth it! So channel your inner Zorba and get funky with this dish...


Ingredients

3 Chicken Breasts
Schwartz Chargrilled Chicken Seasoning
Red Pepper
Red Onion
Lettuce
Feta Cheese

Tzatziki sauce

1/2 Cucumber
1/2 a large pot of fat free Greek Yoghurt
4 cloves of minced garlic
Dill - chopped
1/2 Lemon
Salt and Pepper

Wraps (makes 2)

1/2 Cauliflower
2 Eggs
1 minced garlic clove
3/4 tsp mixed herbs


How it's Done



Ok, so first we need to make our wraps.
Pop your cauliflower florets into a blender and blend until it makes a rice texture.

Boil your cauliflower for 5 minutes then drain through a sieve. Place your cauliflower into the middle of a tea towel and squeeze all the excess water out of it.

Pop all the ingredients into a bowl and mix.

Place some baking paper onto a tray and spread your mixture into two circular wraps. They should be thin but with no holes in.

Bake for 17 minutes and cool on a wire rack to avoid a soggy bottom.


 
Next you want to cut your chicken into strips and lightly sprinkle in the chargrilled seasoning. Put on a tray, Spray in frylight and pop into the oven to cook.

While that's cooking we can move onto our tzatziki sauce, which is super easy.



Add your yoghurt, minced garlic, chopped Dill, salt and a pinch of pepper to season and the juice of half a lemon into your blender. Chop the cucumber into cubes, leaving out the watery seeds in the middle. Add this into the blender too and blend into your sauce. Pop in the fridge to keep cool. Any extra can be frozen and used later.

Once your chicken is ready all that's left is to pile your 'flatbread' with all that yummy salad and chicken. Top with your tzatziki sauce and crumble a bit of Feta cheese over the top. Voila.

One free Greek Gyros, packed with speed foods! Enjoy :)
