My husband loves meatloaf. When I make it, there is always leftovers. I found a tasty way to use the meatloaf in a different way. I have made gyros before and used pita bread, but I have noticed when I go to a restaurant that serves gyros the bread looks more like naan bread. Lamb is not easy to come by here, so I opted to use meatloaf. It is definitely not the same taste as a lamb gyro, but still tasty. If you would like to make your own naan bread, a recipe follows after the gyro.
You will need:
- Naan bread (store bought or homemade)
- garlic oil
- 1 tomato sliced thinly
- 1/2 onion sliced into thin rings
- 1 cup of shredded lettuce
- tzatziki sauce
- leftover meatloaf
- tin foil to hold the gyro together while eating (otherwise you have a big mess)
TZATZIKI SAUCE
- 1 cup (8 ounces) plain yogurt
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- For sauce, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate until serving.
THE GYRO
Naan bread
- Brush naan bread with 1 tablespoon garlic oil; heat on a lightly greased griddle for 1 minute on each side. Keep warm.
Meatloaf
- Cut meat loaf into very thin slices.
- In a large skillet, fry meat loaf in remaining oil in batches until crisp. Tear off a sheet of tin foil large enough to encase the naan bread.
Assembly
- Lay the tin foil down and place the naan bread in the center of the tin foil.
- On each pita bread, layer the tomato, lettuce,onion and meat loaf slices;
- top with tzatziki sauce.
- Carefully fold naan bread in half.
- Serve with remaining sauce
- 1½ cups warm milk
- ½ tsp yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3½-4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 4-5 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- salt (optional)
- add yeast and sugar to warm milk, let stand 3-5 minutes
- add salt and 3½ cups flour to milk mixture and mix in mixer with dough hook for 3-5 minutes or about 8-10 minutes if mixing by hand, Sprinkle additional flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to the sides. Do not exceed 4¼ cups.
- Let rise for 2 hours or do the quick oven rising method described above in step 3
- Punch dough down and divide into 12 equal pieces.
- Form pieces into balls and let rest for 30 minutes (cover with plastic wrap or clean dish towel)
- Put your stone(s) in oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees
- Roll out dough balls to desired thickness (about the size of a small tortilla)
- Cook rolled out dough on stone for 2-4 minutes
- Stack cooked Naan on top of each other and brush each side with butter
- (If you desire you can add ¼ tsp garlic powder and a couple shakes of salt to your melted butter)
