Spicy BBQ Style Gyros Recipe
This recipe is virtually the same as the recipe I posted on my non chilli blog but It doesn’t use the chips and adds a bit of heat so If you would prefer it with out the heat check the recipe for my normal home made gryos recipe out here. I replaced the chips in the gyros with a side salad and side of new potatoes which were covered in piri piri chip seasoning…more on that and the piri piri sausages later.
If you don’t want to use pork it also works brilliantly with chicken.

- 2 pork small loin chops or one big one, make sure they have a little bit of fat on as fat = flavour and texture
