You need to make sure your dried herbs are fresh. If your
dried herbs are more than six months old, it's time to buy new fresh dried
herbs. It really makes a difference and will make a big difference in the taste
of your dishes.
Recipe Preparation:
First, peel the cucumber and cut it into long slices by
cutting it in half. Now take a spoon and scrape out all the seeds from the
cucumber. (If you leave the seeds out, the sauce will be very watery). Now
crumble the cucumber and put it in plastic wrap. Sprinkle with sea salt. Leave
for 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl, add all the other ingredients and whisk
well. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
After 30 minutes, open one side of the plastic wrap so you
can easily squeeze out the excess water. After this time, you can add the
cucumber to the remaining sauce. Stir well. Cover and place in the
refrigerator.
Take out a large bowl and add the beef, garlic, onion,
oregano, marjoram, black pepper, lamb, thyme and sea salt. Now mix all the
ingredients well with your hands. When all the ingredients are well mixed,
transfer them to the pan with the foil. Cover the pan and put it in the
refrigerator for two hours or more.
30 minutes before the meat is ready, you can turn on the
grill. Whether you have a charcoal or gas grill, the fire should be at
325º-350º. Cook on indirect heat for one hour.
Then remove the bread from the foil and cook over indirect
heat for another 45 minutes. Remove the bread from the grill and cover it with
aluminum foil. Let the meat rest for one hour. Slice very, very thinly.
At this point, you may need to add more coals to the grill
if you are using a charcoal grill. The temperature should be about 325º in
indirect heat. Cover the grill with aluminum foil. Place two slices of Swiss
cheese and thinly sliced meat on each piece of pita.
Place pita on grill. Grill over indirect heat until cheese
is melted. Remove from the grill and arrange some tomato, tzatziki sauce and
red onion on the pita. Enjoy!
