45gSugar
30gVinegar

150gOnion
3Cloves
30gSunflower oil

3Pitas
Preparation
- Mix the chicken mince with the gyros spices, finely chopped garlic and shallot, egg, and breadcrumbs.
- Optionally add some crumbled feta and fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap on the work surface.
- Shape the mince mixture into a rectangular slab.
- Spread the sliced bell pepper strips over it.
- Using the plastic wrap, roll the whole tightly into a roulade.
- Wrap the roulade tightly in plastic wrap or tie firmly with kitchen twine.
- Place in a vacuum bag and vacuum seal.
- Cook the roulade sous-vide for 1.5 hours at 68°C. This keeps the meat juicy and perfectly cooked.
- Remove the roulade from the plastic and pat dry.
- Briefly grill (approx. 5 minutes) on the BBQ or sear all around in a hot pan with oil or butter.
- Cut the red cabbage into quarters, remove the hard core, and slice into fine strips (a mandoline ensures even cuts).
- Heat the oil in a large (braising) pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
- Add the red cabbage and cook for 5 minutes until it softens slightly.
- Add vinegar, sugar, water, bay leaf, and cloves. Stir until the sugar dissolves and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat and let simmer gently for 30–40 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little water if it becomes too dry.
- Remove the bay leaf and cloves. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the pita to the size of the roulade and briefly heat on the BBQ or grill.
- Top the pita with the roulade and the sweet and sour red cabbage.
