Anyone know what a Mediterranean baked pastry sandwich is called?

I was in Greece for a month several years ago. While I was there I ate from street vendors across the country who made a lunch sandwich with baked pastry instead of bread. They put the American "Hot Pocket" to shame. You could buy them in them morning, keep them wrapped up and eat them hours later. Does anyone know what these sandwiches are called or know a site with recipes for them?Anyone know what a Mediterranean baked pastry sandwich is called?
referring to gyros perhaps?
Its not hard to put most American food to shame as lots of it is absolute rubbish (Creole and Cajun excepted). Greek food is delicious and on the whole really healthy. Greeks make many savoury pastries some with just cheese, some with just greens (usually spinach) and some with meat.

The cheese and spinach pastry is called sandpit. Its not that hard to make. Google a recipe.Anyone know what a Mediterranean baked pastry sandwich is called?

Panino Mediterraneo: Ingredients:



** For the Sandwich **

3 slices Tuscan bread, lightly toasted

2 slices grilled eggplant (buy at a deli)

3 slices grilled bell pepper, of the colors you prefer (buy at a deli)

4 cherry tomatoes, halved

A hard-boiled egg, sliced

2 canned sardines, drained

4 pitted black or green olives, halved

A clove of garlic (optional)

** For the Sauce **

2 fresh basil leaves

A couple of sprigs of mint

The leaves from a sprig of thyme and a sprig of marjoram

Half a garlic clove (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt to taste

1 teaspoon pickled capers

Preparation:



To make the sauce, blend everything together.



And then see to the sandwich: put down the first slice of bread, and arrange half the ingredients over it, and sprinkle them with half the sauce. Lightly rub the second slice of bread, top and bottom, with garlic if you want to, lay it over the ingredients put down so far, and top it with the rest of the ingredients. Sprinkle the remaining sauce over all, top with the last slice of bread, and that's it.



Gyro: Ingredients



1 pound ground lamb

1/2 cup very finely chopped (or shredded) onion

2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic

3/4 teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt)

1/2 teaspoon dried ground marjoram

1/2 teaspoon dried ground rosemary

1/4 teaspoon black pepper



Mix everything together and let sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Blend in a food processor for about 1 minute. (When cooked, this will help give it a more traditional gyro feel on your palate. Otherwise, it just takes like cooked minced meat.)

Form into an oblong around a spit, and slow cook over a grill for around 30-45 minutes, cooking far from the coals, and rotating slowly. Alternatively, bake in the oven in a meatloaf shape for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, at 325 degrees F. It should be a bit dry.
