Arbys Tzatziki Sauce Recipes

COPYCAT ARBY'S GYRO

Steps:

• Place the onion in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the ground lamb and beef, the seasoning blend, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 2/3 of the grated garlic. Process until evenly combined and smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to a 7x4-inch loaf pan. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top and press down firmly. Discard the plastic wrap and give the pan a few taps on the counter to make sure the mixture is compact as possible. Cover the pan tightly with foil and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.
• In the meantime, in a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cucumber, parsley, dill, lemon juice, remaining garlic, salt and pepper until evenly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to use.
• Place the loaf pan into a larger baking dish and then pour in hot water about half way up the loaf up, to create a steam bath. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for about 1 hour. Carefully remove from the oven and drain the hot water. Unwrap the foil from the loaf pan and drain off any accumulated grease. Allow the meatloaf to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cutting board and cutting into thin slices.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once very hot, add the sliced meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy.
• To assemble the gyros, warm the pitas in the oven for a few minutes or in a dry skillet, to make them pliable. Spread each pita with the tzatziki yogurt. Sprinkle with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices and some of the sautéed meat. Fold over and serve immediately.

TZATZIKI SAUCE-- GREEK CUCUMBER/YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel cucumbers and dice. Put them in a colander and sprinkle with the tablespoon of salt (draws water out). Cover with a plate and sit something heavy on top. Let sit for 30 minute Drain well and wipe dry with a paper towel.
• In food processor or blender, add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill and/or mint, and a few grinds of black pepper. Process until well blended, then stir into yogurt. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend.
• This will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but you will need to drain off any water and stir each time you use it.
• ** If you can't find the thicker Greek Yogurt Cheese, you can use regular, plain yogurt that is either full fat or low fat. To thicken, spoon yogurt into cheese cloth that has been quadrupled. Draw the corners of the cloth up and tie together. Suspend above a bowl for 2 hours so that water can drip out. The consistency of the yogurt should be like that of sour cream.
• You can skip this draining process, if you want, but you will have a moderately messier, runnier result.
