Eggplant (Aubergine) Gyro

LOVED these!! I would give these way more than 5 stars if I could! Used 3 baby eggplant, nonfat Greek yogurt in the sauce, brown tomatoes (Kumato), and packaged naan from Costco for the pita bread. I left the veggie mixture (pre-eggplant) out at room temp while I cooked the eggplant and heated up the naan, so the heat of the eggplant and bread warmed up all the veggies. I'll definitely be making these again, thanks for posting! :) Made for The Queens of Quisine for ZWT6

I liked this and my husband even liked it (he hates eggplant!). The kids only liked it without the dressing. I have a feeling that the leftovers will taste even better since the veggies will have time to soak up the other flavors. I think next time I will make it ahead and let it sit for about an hour for the flavors to blend better. I think the feta was the key to making this recipe really work. Will definitely make this again. Very easy to put together and made mostly of fresh veggies which is always good! Thanks for the recipe!

This is a decent recipe. The flavor is somewhat reminiscent of a gyro, but I think mushrooms would be a better fit than eggplant in this dish. It was easy to put together and overall a healthy recipe. Thanks for posting.

I just made these and found that a little taste test before an early supper wasn't enough. This was so good, and the effort is well worth it. I will be making these again!

Loved this yummy pita! I sliced my eggplant really thin lengthwise, and added some asparagus and a few artichoke hearts. Then I topped it off with provolone cheese....yummy!!! Made for Zingo by an Unruly. Thanks for sharing.

It is a really warm summer night in the Detroit area and I was in the mood for a meatless dinner. These gyros really hit the spot. They were not difficult to prepare and the sandwiches tasted really fresh and delicious. I loved how the veggies are tossed in a red wine vinegar sauce. The only changes I made were to omit the foil wrap and we grilled the pitas so as not to heat up the stove. This worked really well. Also, while the recipe called for a large eggplant, mine must have been really large as my filling will easily stuff 8 pitas (DH and I each consumed one and split one and I have plenty leftover), which I am looking forward to having for lunch tomorrow. I will definitely make these gyros again. Thanks for posting. Made for Zingo ZWT6.

This was terrific. I love eggplant and this did not disappoint. I did have to cook my eggplant a little longer, since I cubed it a little larger. Great flavor. I will make this often. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6.

Delicious gyro! Had this for lunch and boy, is this filling! At first, I was wondering if I should slice the pita open like in a falafel but looking at gyro pics made me think otherwise. :D Just to be sure, I salted out the eggplant to remove any bitterness. Thanks for posting this!

Wow, very nice! I haven't had a gyro since I became a vegetarian many years ago! I didn't mind at all that the eggplant was warm and veggies cold. Isn't that the way gyros are supposed to be? The only drawback to gyros is that they are messy to eat. I guess I just don't have the wrapping technique down pat yet. I made this as written except the only EVOO step was when I lightly brushed the eggplants with it. I also sliced and baked them in the oven for 15 minutes instead of sauteeing. Oh, and I used low-fat feta. This was a real easy and tasty supper. BF gave this high marks too. I will be making this again:D Thanks!

This was interesting and has lots of flavors I like. My only hestitation is in mixing the hot eggplant with the other (cold) veggies. I think next time I might use the eggplant to make a warm spread and top with the veggies or grill the eggplant in long slices to sub for meat. The sauce was really good with this. Thanks Lori!
