Gyro - Kebab and Rice



So once I had awesome Tzatziki sauce, I thought I'd make the rest of the meal Stick likes.

I'm still playing with the proportions, so this is more of a note to myself than a recipe.

ground turkey (I am not a fan of red meat, but I suppose it would be more authentic to use ground beef or lamb)
coriander
cumin
garlic
lemon juice
finely minced onion

I mixed everything up and let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so. Then I rolled the meat into sausages and fried then in a little oil. Next time I would make patties as sausage don't fit very well into pita pockets.

Next, I added some butter to the pan where I'd just fried the meat, and quickly stir-fried some rice in it.

Rice cooked in chicken broth
garlic powder
butter

I served everything with a tomato-feta-cucumber salad and grilled mushrooms (because mushroom go with EVERYTHING)

China Kedgeree

2 eggs, hard-boiled and then chopped
1 can of tuna
1 cup rice
about half of a big Chinese leek, chopped
a few mushrooms, chopped into small cubes
2 strips of bacon (I know this is not the most healthful choice, and you could easily skip it. But I find that a little bit of good ol' bacon fat makes food taste more Western)
cilantro, finely chopped (Finally! a spice I don't need to buy specially in the import shop!)
a little curry powder

Cook the bacon, and then crumble it.

Saute the leek and mushrooms in bacon grease, or just use vegetable oil.

Add the curry powder and stir.

Add the rice, using 1 part rice to 2 parts water. Stir, cover and simmer.

When the rice is soft, drain the tuna and add it to the rice. Then add the egg, bacon, cilantro. (You can add more curry powder now if you like, personally I'm a big fan of the cilantro.)
