The name gyro, meaning ‘spin around’, refers to the way the meat is cooked in slow rotation, helping the fat to drip away until the result is almost crispy, but still deliciously moist. Seasoned pieces of pork or chicken are layered on a vertical rotisserie. The seasoning is vital: the basic ingredients are salt, pepper, garlic and oregano, although extra herbs or spices are often added to the mix. The cooked meat is thinly shaved and either wrapped into bulging pillows of pita bread or served on a plate along with sliced tomatoes, onions and pita, often with extra helpings of tzatziki and chips.
