BEST GIRO IVE EVER MADE????
Yay!! ???? We’re so glad you’re loving it! ????
Can’t wait to try this! Does Misfits sell impossible meat?
Yay! Thanks for asking, Marcell. We do currently offer Impossible meat, and we hope you can check it out to give this recipe a try. You can learn more as well as go through the sign-up process by heading here: https://www.misfitsmarket.com/sign-up. We hope to see you join us ????????
This was good but I am wondering if the amount of salt in the gyros is correct? Should it be a teaspoon rather than a tablespoon? I put a tablespoon in and it looked like a lot of salt so I took most of it out and they were still pretty salty!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Em! We appreciate you for catching this error, and we’re glad to hear you were still able to enjoy the recipe. We passed this along to our team, and it will be fixed shortly!
I haven’t made it yet, cuz I’m wondering… How is this gonna taste like a gyro with just salt, oregano, thyme & garlic as the seasonings?? Seems like there should be more than that to get that AMAZING flavor of authentic gyro meat. ????
Thank you for inquiring about this, Toni! Feel free to add any additional seasonings to fit your preferences. Traditional gyro seasoning is a blend that contains many of the common Mediterranean herbs with some garlic and onion powder. Oregano, basil, parsley and dill are some of the primary herbs with rosemary and thyme oftentimes being in the mix, too. We hope you can enjoy giving this recipe a try, so we can hear your thoughts!
Wow, haven’t had a gyro since going veggie 15 years ago— this is by far the best recipe I’ve ever had! Making it for the third time! Thank you so much misfits!!!
