With the simple and quick recipe for chicken gyros you can experience Greece's world of flavors at home.
A dish for warm thoughts on cold days.
Chicken gyros is the culinary ticket for a direct flight to Greece.
With a few simple steps and the right mix of spices, your home stove can be turned into a Greek tavern.
The chicken gyro seasoning mix is the key to this recipe.
It has to be as finely tuned as a sirtaki melody: thyme, oregano and rosemary, a bit of cinnamon here, a pinch of cayenne pepper there - and voilà, a dish that tastes like a holiday on the tongue.
It's not just seasoning here, no, a symphony of flavors is composed here that is so authentic that you can almost feel the Mediterranean breeze on your skin.
And if it's still too cold despite the warm thoughts of your holiday in Greece, try the unusual gyros soup or the national dish of the Greeks, a bean stew called Fasolada.
