Cooking & food is my love language! I'm a professional chef & started this channel to share my lifelong passion of food & cooking (filming in front of a camera notsomuch 😬) & hope to inspire you to spend some time in the kitchen & cook up some love✌🏼❤️🍽

I’m so happy I found your channel! I can’t wait to try so many of your dishes because they look so delicious❤ I need to start making the ingredients lists for the recipes so I can be sure to have them in the pantry to make it easier and quicker to get things made. I’m going to start with the chicken long rice 😊
I love muffuletta olive salad, my dad brought a jar of it after a trip to the US when i was a kid. We're from Brazil and its kinda hard to get roasted peppers (although they're super common fresh), could i sub it for sun dried tomatoes (a lot more common over here), or can I roast my own peppers?
Aloha & yes! You can roast your own peppers. Just char 3-4 whole red bell peppers over open flame, on the stovetop, or a Brule torch. When the outside skin is just about charred on all sides place them in a bowl & cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap & let the peppers steam in their own heat for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the skin soften up so it's easier to remove. When ready, you should be able to remove the skin with your fingers under running water- or a bowl of water. Pat dry, cut open & remove the seeds & that's it. Fresh roasted red peppers! Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
As far as the ingredients go, it’s almost exactly how my dad made this salad. The major difference is the dressing. Dad always made it from scratch and added fresh Italian parsley and little fresh basil leaves that he hand tear into little pieces. He also added a little finely grated fresh garlic. The amount of sugar was very minimal and the onion he used was always a sweet onion. Since watching your video I’ve been constantly thinking about this salad and put all that I need to make it at the top of my grocery list! Thank you for the trip down memory lane ❤
Hi the reason of my comment is not so that i can find your version of Yiros wrong,, i understand that you all are used to this version of rotisserie meat , but there are others around and you may find them better if you tried them, most rotttiserie meats are much more naturall looking just like ground beef , the difference with meat loaf. burger mince , etc is that its got more texture , you may find it better if you dont turn mince into this mistery version. just saying
Aloha & thank you for your comment. I know that Gyros in Greece and the Greek- American version are two different iterations. This recipe is for the Greek American version and not meant to take away from the traditional ways
No such thing as Beef & Lamb Gyros u American really love making up food and claim it to be Authentic Greek😅😅 I live in Greece my relatives are Greek and Gyros is always Pork
I appreciate your comment, and yes, Gyros in Greece are completely different. This happens to be a Greek-American version. It's not meant to be offensive- it's food. Folks put ham & pineapple on pizza & call it Hawaiian. Ain't nothing Hawaiian about it 🤙🏼
Aloha! Sometimes you can find sea asparagus at specialty food stores or you could ask your local Whole Foods. If you have an H Mart, you may be able to find fried tofu there. Otherwise, you can substitute w/ extra firm tofu 😊
I was wondering how they make it 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m like I go to nick the Greeks all the time and I’m tryin to figure out how that meat log had both but now know
@herm7629 It's a very old Cuisinart. I've tried making this in a Ninja food processor & it worked, however it was much more time consuming bc of the shape of the ninja attachment
@augustinepassijr5325 it's an Oster brand, but any 6 cup rice cooker works. You could give it a try by cutting the recipe in half. Mahalo for watching!
Press the plate down completely to smash the olives then start chopping them. They never roll away. I also add marinated veggies like cauliflower, and artichoke hearts. Then add their oils/marinade to keep the salad moist and brined well. Yours looked so yummy too! I’ve been on a muffuletta kick recently! TFS!!
Why is there so many air holes?... Just kidding. I'm actually here to ask about how to wipe down my pan it I'm to poor to buy paper towels? Thanks in advance
Hello from Dallas, TX! Thank you for sharing your recipe. If you can get poblano peppers in your area, those make a great addition to salsa verde. Poblanos are not hot, just adds a depth of flavor. I char the peppers, onion and tomatillos on the grill, then chop in the blender with cilantro, cumin, salt, fresh garlic and lime juice. It keeps about a week in the fridge.
Great little recipe nice and tasty, if you fry the slices to crisp them up that is good. Add a load of breadcrumbs and you have a gyros flavoured meatloaf with a more crumbly texture. Well done, take care, God bless one and all.
I'm definitely going to try your recipe. I did one with cumin and could not tolerate the smell along with the lamb. The taste was okay. This recipe is more how I make my souvlaki or leg of lamb. Thank you.
I swear I could just sit down and eat a bowl of that all by itself! I had no idea this was so easy to make. Heck, I may even roast my own peppers too! Either way, there will be a jar of that in my fridge come grocery shopping day! Thanks for posting this video! Zk
Can't you toss all the ingredients (except the garlic) in a food processor and pulse it until finely chopped? Garlic press the garlic and mix everything together... That would definitely save time with making this dish...
Aloha! Yes you can use the food processor to cut down on the prep. I've tried it that way before but processed the components individually then combined them together in a bowl. The texture comes out a little different than hand chopping. Enjoy! 🤙🏼
Aloha & Mahalo for watching! I hope that you enjoy making & eating this. I have a recipe for Tzatziki as well which goes perfectly w/ Gyros. Enjoy! 🌺🤙🏼
