Enjoy this restaurant-style pork shoulder gyro recipe made easily and quickly in your Instant Pot.
Yield: Serves 5
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 boneless Ontario pork shoulder roast (about 2 lb/1 kg)
- 2 tsp (10 mL) Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp (5 mL) each ground cumin and ground coriander
- 1 tsp (5 mL) each garlic and onion powder
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) canola oil
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) vegetable or chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
- 1 bag (425 g) Greek-style pitas (5)
- 1 tub (227 g) tzatziki sauce
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) thinly sliced cucumber
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) thinly sliced red onion
- Shredded lettuce (optional)
Cooking Instructions:
- Remove any netting or string from roast, if any and trim firm visible fat. Cut into 2 inch (5 cm) chunks and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, cumin, coriander, garlic and onion powder and toss well to coat evenly.
- Turn instant pot on “sauté” setting and add oil. Brown pork chunks on all sides; add broth. Place lid on top and seal. Pressure cook for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure to come down naturally, then turn valve to vent for a quick release. Once valve stops, remove the lid. Using tongs, stir in salt and pepper (pork may break up at this point).
- Warm pitas, if desired and divide pork among pitas. Top with tzatziki, cucumber, onions and lettuce if using. Fold up to enjoy.
Topping Options: Dress your gyros as desired with other delicious toppings like cheese, olives, pickles or hummus instead of the tzatziki.
