Traditionally, Greek gyros are served with a mild white yogurt dill cucumber sauce called TZATZIKI. This is an alternate, a sort of sweet red pepper curry-like sauce. It is sometimes served with kabobs, on pita bread, or even over rice. Ingredients:
1/2 cup tomato puree |
1 tablespoon sugar |
3 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced thin |
3 sweet red peppers or 3 green bell peppers, sliced thin |
1 medium cubanelle pepper, sliced thin |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
4 tomatoes, sliced thin |
1 cup hot water |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine tomato puree, sugar, and vinegar; set aside.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat; saute onions until their edges start to brown.
3. Add sliced peppers, season with salt and pepper to taste, and saute over medium low for 2 or 3 minutes.
4. Stir in tomatoes.
5. Stir in the tomato puree mixture.
6. Add 1 cup hot water and simmer until sauce thickens, about 45 to 60 minutes.
