2025. 08. 07.

Summer is the season for outdoor events, festivals, and get-togethers. Whether you're cooking something special at home or at a small event, we've got you covered with the hottest street food of the summer that you can easily make with the right kitchen tools.

1. Classic pulled pork sandwich

Slow-roasted, juicy pork is every street food fan's dream. With the help of a good quality meat tenderizer or meat grinder, you can make the perfect pulled pork in no time.

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

1.2 kg pork shoulder
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 hamburger buns
Coleslaw salad (cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, lemon juice)

Preparation:

Mix the spices and rub them onto the pork.
Place the meat in a heatproof dish, drizzle with apple cider vinegar and mustard, then cover with foil.
Bake at low temperature (130°C) for 6-8 hours.
Slice the meat into strips and serve with fresh coleslaw in a bun.

+ GAMMO tip: Sous-vide equipment guarantees that the meat will be tender.

2. Stuffed quesadilla with cheese and meat

One of the most popular pieces of Mexican street food is the quesadilla. Melting cheese, fried chicken or beef, and vegetables are sandwiched between tortillas - and it all takes just a few minutes to prepare on a good contact grill or flat grill plate.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt, pepper
4 large tortilla
200g grated cheddar or Trappist cheese
1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
1 bell pepper (cut into strips)

Preparation:

Slice the chicken breast into strips, season and cook on a hot grill.
Spread cheese, fried chicken, onion, and peppers on a tortilla, then cover with another tortilla.
Cook on a contact grill or in a flat pan until the cheese melts and the tortilla is slightly crispy.
Cut into triangles and serve with sour cream or guacamole.

+ GAMMO tip: Contact grilling allows layers to cook faster and more evenly.

3. Greek gyros in pita bread

Gyros are an ideal choice for summer events - quick, filling and delicious. The secret lies in the well-seasoned, thinly sliced meat, which you can prepare in a vertical gyro oven.

Ingredients:

50 dkg chicken breast or thigh fillet
1 tbsp Greek spice mix (oregano, thyme, garlic)
2 tbsp olive oil
4 pita bread
Ttzatziki (yogurt, cucumber, garlic)
Tomato, cucumber, onion to taste
Feta cheese

Preparation:

Cut the chicken into thin strips, mix with the spices and olive oil, then marinate for 30 minutes.
Bake it in a gyros oven at high temperature..
Warm the pitas, then fill them with meat, vegetables, feta, and tzatziki.

4. Hot dog reimagined

Hot dogs are perhaps the simplest street food, but with a little creativity, they can be turned into a gastronomic experience.

Basic ingredients:

4 hot dogs
4 hot dog buns
Mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise to taste

Variations:

Tex-Mex: jalapeño, avocado cream, cheddar
Asian: pickled cabbage, sriracha, mayonnaise
Classic: fried onions, pickles, mustard

Preparation:

Heat the sausages in a hot dog cooker.
Cut the bagel in half and toast the outside if you like.
Combine with toppings of your choice.

+ GAMMO tip: Use a hot dog warmer, if you are making larger quantities for events

5. Falafel wrap with tahini

The uncrowned king of vegetarian street food is falafel - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, full of fresh spices. Wrapped in a tahini sauce and crunchy vegetables, it's a real summer favorite that you can even make in advance..

Ingredients (for 15-20 falafel):

250g dry chickpeas (soaked the night before)
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 bunch of parsley
1 tsp cumin
Salt, pepper
1 tbsp flour
Oil for frying
Wrap or pita, fresh vegetables, tahini sauce

Preparation:

Blend the soaked chickpeas with the onion, garlic, and spices.
Add the flour, form small balls.
Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Fill it with fresh vegetables and tahini in a wrap or pita.

+ GAMMO tip: Use a deep fryer or stainless steel deep fryer for fast and even frying.
