Chicken Gyro on the Grill
Made this for my short trip last week and will place it on my regular roster of camping meals. Think the seasoning needs some work but the finished dish was tender, cooked evenly and faster to mak...

That sounds good. I like cumin, and cardamon, I think, but I thought turmeric had no flavor? Is it just for color?
"The man who doesn't like spicy (read hot) seasonings was quite happy" It's good to know I'm not alone. I do throw caution to the wind sometimes and use Ancho powder.
I thought turmeric was just a colorant until I bought some fresh recently. Man oh man what a difference! I recently decided to explore various cuisines on "The Spice Route" and revisit Caribbean foods so my spices are quite fresh.
Fresh turmeric has a gingery taste and smell with a lil citrusy note.
I've been storing my paprika (another spice that only has colour when old) in the fridge for the last coupla years and wonder if I should put the turmeric next to it. I guess it can't hurt.
ETA: Oh and we both think doubling the amt of grilled onions would be a good idea the next time I make this. I also added roasted peppers since they were on hand; fine addition. Since I'm not a good baker I bought whole wheat pizza dough from WF and sectioned it off into 8 balls. Next time I'll add some whole spices and aromatics to the dough's exterior. Unfortunately the idea came after the bread was on the grill, LOL.
