Freeze Dried Gyros -- Chicken, Tofu, Tzatziki, Pita Bread

[@thirteenacres]

I love love love Gyro's so this is perfect for me. I never thought about doing the Tzatziki sauce in the freeze dryer! Im excited to try this.

[@mantzbrinkman4780]

After watching this, I went to the store, purchased all the ingredients and just finished up and cleaned the kitchen. I tried the marinated/cooked chicken and it was tasty and full of flavor. Letting the chicken cool before adding it to the rest of it already in the freezer. I have a load in the dryer and one ahead of this but by Thursday, I should have a finished project. Thanks for this recipe. It is definitely not the same old thing. All the variety is what it makes it so appealing.

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Great to hear! Enjoy!

[@mhmail1g]

I can't wait to try this recipe. You have really perfected freeze drying. Keep up the great videos. I appreciate them very much! God bless you and your family.

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

You are so welcome!

[@Monkchip]

Wow! Great foodies for the freeze drier! I can't wait to get my FD up and running!

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Enjoy!

[@momofgirls2011]

Love this recipe- on my list of next to try! I seriously did not know about the marinade feature on my avid armor! Thanks for all the tips!

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Hope you like it!

[@karenshady8129]

Oooh… I cant wait to get my hands on youre new book…. My new freeze dryer is finally in Australia, and I should have it in a few days !!!!!

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

We are trying to get it out this coming week. Congrats on your purchase

[@brendajackson294]

Thanks for showing the marinate feature on the avid armor. I have not tried it yet.

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

I think it will be useful for quite a few situations

[@chickeemama1]

I know most of the commercial freeze dried food I see on the shelf’s is food that I really don’t care for so having a good recipe like this will be nice…of course when I finally get my freeze dryer (impatiently waiting!!) shipped.

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Congrats!

[@timothylaforest9603]

I have been watching you for a bit , I finally ordered my freeze dryer.(so excited) I have also been getting into fermentation for vegetables, great for , health , taste and preserving. My question is has anyone tried freeze drying fermented vegetables? Thank you for any input.

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

I have been hearing more and more about fermented veggies. I'll have to look into it and possibly make a video

[@kellyclemmer9715]

Oooh I want to do freeze dried falafel now!

[@debbieembury6885]

Good timing I had all the stuff out to make chicken gyros!! I am going to freeze dry the left over sauce!!

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

🥳

[@martharayon7194]

Great video, thank you! I can't wait to make this. Avid Armor is great to finish off rehydrating stubborn freeze dried food! Soak freeze dried food in liquid and then making sure there is enough liquid, as shown in video finish the rehydrating by using marinate function on your vacuum sealer!

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Agreed 👍

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

Love the ethnic dishes. Thank you.

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Absolutely, trying to get some new stuff in here instead of the same old same old

[@zhippidydoodah]

Looks delicious.

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Enjoy!

[@chickeemama1]

Are you using parchment instead of silicone for a reason? Just curious…can’t wait to make this!

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

I almost always use parchment, however for very thick sauces and similar textures, I use silicone

[@Stinkerbelle62]

What fat % is the greek yogurt? Love your videos.

[@juliemaring6048]

Where do I find the recipe? Love your videos but can never find the actual video!

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

We will have a cookbook in the coming weeks that will update real time with recipes. For now, yu have to watch the video and write it down or play it while you are making them

[@dglass7141]

I believe I'm the first to freeze dry Wendy's Strawberry and Chocolate FROSTY . The results were very interesting. I won't make a "spoiler" alert other then strawberry makes for a pretty pink and the texture is nice too. As for the taste and texture when eating? well you should check it out. You're gonna need 2 large (20oz) for one medium tray. I also used the green dividers in the smallest slots. I like to call it my forever FROSTY! LOL

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

I'm not sure. I would imagine they are brand specific

[@kimberlygreen7342]

Looks so good!

[@donaldleblanc8730]

So did you marinate the tofu?

[@ConnieHanes-l5h]

have you fd tortillas? If so, could you put that on

[@corabunselmeyer1241]

6 lbs of dried pinto beans only yielded 5 lbs 5 oz after running though the freeze drier, lost 10 oz weight?

[@bornonthebayou7926]

Boom! My only problem will be the shelf life. I'll be raiding the pantry for these. They'll never last. 🤣

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Same here

[@aA-lf6mf]

Could you do a video addressing what's normal on ice build up on unit around the gasket. I've done about 5 runs and have water build up. My unit is inside in my spare bedroom

[@jeremy7461]

I think it depends on humidity levels in your house. We live in the SW and use an evaporative cooler to cool our house so humidity levels are higher and we get quite a bit of condensation on the outside of the gasket (enough to have to place a rag below it). As far as ice goes, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Just what is in the drum. We're pretty new to this as well having only done about 15-20 batches. I hope that helps somewhat

[@aA-lf6mf]

@@jeremy7461 i'm in Arkansas. It's humid all the time lol. I keep a wash cloth under the door as well. Makes me feel better I'm not alone here. I'm sure it's normal. Very hard to find information on freeze drying. This page is my go to lol.

[@halifaxguy]

Seeing you add the extra water to the sauce reminded me of a question I meant to ask the other day when I was doing up some freeze drying watching your vids. So, here’s the question: is it safe/ok to add extra water to preparations with the expectation that the additional water will be sublimated out during the freeze dry? And if you do this, would you suggest weighing (for your reconstitution calculation) before adding the extra water to get back to the desired consistency? I hope that makes sense. It’s early and I’ve had no coffee…

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

In most cases, extra water is fine and will give you the same end result just take longer for the cycle.

[@Clarinda787]

Do you HAVE to use veggie broth or will bone broth work too? I have everything except the veggie broth and want to try this as soon as the watermelon comes out of the machine.

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Should be good. I use veggie broth for flavors but even water would probably do just fine

Hey bud, I just bought a large Harvest Right and wasn't sure if I went thru your affiliate link, I know I clicked on it but then I got to emailing back and forth with Spencer at harvest right.... So I just sent him and email and told him the situation and he said that he would be sure to get that info put in..... Also, do you know when your silicone mats will be available on your website and do you give a military/veteran discount?? Thanks bud

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Hey Chad, thanks for your support. We should have silicone back in October. It takes our manufacturer awhile to make them. When you are ready to order, send us a message on our site chat and we will set you up with a discount

[@Chad_N_Stacey_Hopson]
