Ingredients

• 1000 grams pork shoulder
• 60 ml olive oil
• 60 ml red wine vinegar
• 4 units garlic cloves, minced
• 15 grams dried oregano
• 5 grams dried thyme
• 5 grams ground cumin
• 5 grams sweet paprika
• 10 grams salt
• 5 grams black pepper
• 4 units pita breads
• 240 ml tzatziki sauce
• 1 unit tomato, sliced
• 1 unit red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 units lettuce leaves
• 50 grams feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork shoulder thinly, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the pork slices to the marinade and ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 5

Spread the marinated pork slices onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a roasting rack.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and has crispy edges, turning once halfway through cooking.

Step 7

Warm the pita breads either in the oven for a few minutes, on a stovetop skillet, or in a microwave for 20 seconds.

Step 8

Assemble the gyros by placing a lettuce leaf on each pita bread, followed by several slices of pork, and topping with slices of tomato, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.

Step 9

Fold the pita bread and wrap it in parchment paper or foil to help hold its shape, and serve immediately.
