Best South Aussie Lamb Yiros Or Gyros Souvlaki Kebabs Doner Kabab Recipes
SOUTH AUSSIE LAMB YIROS (OR GYROS, SOUVLAKI, KEBABS, DONER KABAB
This is a Greek street food that is very popular in Australia. In each state you will find it called something different however South Australia seems to be the only one to use the term 'yiros'. It is a popular late-night feast after a big night 'on the grog'. The standard salad ingredients are lettuce, raw onion and tomato topped with a garlic (but not tzatziki) sauce. Tabbouli, cheese and chili sauce are also popular fillings as are chicken, beef and falafels. Which ever meat is used it is cooked by stacking thin slices of marinated meat on a vertical skewer which turns in front of a heat source. The meat is then carved vertically from the skewer so the meat is in very thin shards. This is my version. I have used tzatziki as I have yet to discover the secret of South Aussie garlic sauce! Australian measurements used.

Steps:
- Slice lamb into very thin strips. Place in a plastic bag together with the olive oil and nostimini blend. Massage to make sure the oil and nostimini has coated all of the meat. Allow to marinate for minimum of 30 minutes.
- While lamb marinates thinly slice tomato and onion. Shred lettuce. Set aside in fridge.
- Cut 2 foil sheets 10cm (4") larger all around that your pita bread. Cut 2 baking paper sheets the same size as the pita. Place one sheet of baking paper on top of each sheet of foil.
- Heat 2 frypans to med-hot.
- Lightly spray one side of a pita with cooking spray and place this side down on one fry pan. Spray the other pan with cooking spray and stir-fry half the meat until cooked. (Do not allow to stew - crusty bits are good.).
- When meat is ready remove from heat. Place one foil/paper stack on a plate.
- Working quickly, remove pita from heat and place on the paper with toasted side up.
- Now place the meat then half the salad items and tzatziki down the middle of the pita. Use the paper to tightly roll each side of the pita into the centre ensuring one side crosses the other. Roll package in the foil. Twist the bottom of the foil to catch the juices.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Serve with plenty of napkins!
DONAR KEBAB SAUCES (WHITE AND RED)
I came up with these quick sauces to top off Donar Kebabs (gyros), similar to what you get in Europe. There's a white sauce similar to an aioli and a red chili sauce similar to harissa, but these use shortcuts to cut down on prep time since you're also cooking up the donar kebabs. I make these to go with my recipe Recipe #292013 .

KABAB
Kabab (Arabic, also kebap, kabab, kebob, kabob, kibob, kebhav, kephav) is a wide variety of meat dishes originating in southwest and south Asia, and now found worldwide. In English, kebab with no qualification generally refers more specifically to shish kebab or döner kebab served wrapped in bread with a salad and a dressing. But in southwest and south Asia, kebab includes grilled, roasted, and stewed dishes of large or small cuts of meat, or even ground meat; it may be served on plates, in sandwiches, or in bowls. The traditional meat for kebab is lamb, but depending on local tastes and taboos, it may now be beef, goat, chicken, pork; fish and seafood; or even vegetarian foods like tofu. Like other ethnic foods brought by immigrants and travelers, the kebab has become part of everyday cuisine in multicultural countries around the globe.

AUSSIE LAMB SANDWICH / SOUVLAKI
Not a bad quick meal and feel free to substitute tomatoes for capsicum, and pretty much any other salad veggies you want. Maybe a few olives instead of the capers and the list goes on.

Steps:
- Place lamb strips, teriyaki sauce, garlic, Tabasco sauce, oil and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and marinate 30 minutes or so.
- Cook lamb on hot BBQ plate turning occasionally until cooked as desired (about 5 minutes will do the trick).
- Place Lebanese bread on a plate and top with mesclun mix and capers.
- Put sour cream over top in three dollops and place capsicum strips to the side, followed by the cooked lamb strips over the middle.
- Roll up starting by folding in at the top and bottom a little followed by tightly rolling at the sides.
- Place under a sandwich press for 5 minutes or so to make the bread crispy. This is optional but tastes a lot better.
- Enjoy with an ice cold beer in the other hand!
