Preparation
  • 1
    Marinate 500g of Garden Gourmet Pulled Fillet with 50ml of vegetable oil and 30g of gyros spice mix. Allow the fillet to marinate for 30 minutes to enhance the flavours.
  • 2
    Prepare the pickled tomatoes: In a saucepan, combine 300ml of white wine vinegar, 100ml of water, 20g of peeled garlic, 1g of dried oregano, 60g of caster sugar, and 1g of black peppercorns. Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.
  • 3
    Place 500g of cherry tomatoes in a bowl and pour the cooled pickling liquid over them. Ensure that the tomatoes are fully covered by the liquid. Cover the bowl and let the tomatoes steep for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • 4
    Prepare the pistou sauce by blending 100g of flat parsley, 20g of peeled garlic, 1g of sea salt, and 50ml of olive oil in a blender until smooth. Set the pistou aside for later use.
  • 5
    For the tzatziki sauce, whisk together 300g of Greek Style Vegan Yogurt, 30ml of olive oil, 20g of peeled garlic, and 120g of grated cucumber in a bowl. Season with 1g of salt. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the tzatziki until needed.
  • 6
    Spread the marinated gyros mix on an oven tray and cook under a hot grill for 6-7 minutes, or until slightly charred to give the fillet a smoky flavour and crispy texture.
  • 7
    Warm the breakfast crumpets and place them on a serving plate. Spoon the prepared pistou sauce onto each crumpet, spreading it evenly.
  • 8
    Top the pistou-covered crumpets with the cooked gyros mix, distributing it evenly across the crumpets.
  • 9
    Garnish the crumpets with the pickled tomatoes and banana shallot rings, adding a vibrant and tangy element to the dish.
  • 10
    Finish by adding a dollop of the chilled tzatziki sauce on top of each crumpet.
