Homemade Rotisserie Gyro

I thought I'd start off with something good, like this attempt at homemade gyro with my new BBQ rotisserie.

Although the end result looked, smelled and tasted great, I will try again to emulate the tasty pork gyro found all over Greece.

You'll need:

1 whole pork, fat trimmed to your liking
3 medium onions, grated in a bowl
1/3 cup vegatable oil
black pepper
Vegeta seasoning to taste
4 gloves of garlic finely minced

Mix all of the above ingredients in a large bowl or other container that will fit all of the above. Cover and allow to marinate for 12 hrs. or over night.

Take your rotisserie spit and insert a whole onion at one end and start skewering the pieces of meat tightly on the spit and at the other end (when done with the meat) insert another onion.

Secure your meat with the apparatus and under the lowest of heat and a closed BBQ, let the rotisserie do all the work.

In just over an hour you should get a glistening, revolving piece of BBQ heaven ready to be thinly shaved with a good serrated knife or an electric one.

The meat was delicious, tender, moist and satisfying but it tasted like a jumbo souvlaki. I served BBQ Scalloped potatoes, Greek salad and home made tzatziki (I will touch on those in future installments).

I will try and play with spices with my attempt at home made gyro.

This is a work in progress...
