Venison Gyros might be just the main course you are searching for. One portion of this dish contains about 58g of protein, 11g of fat, and If you have marjoram, wine vinegar, pita breads, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the ground cumin you could follow this main course with the Moroccan Chocolate Mousse as a dessert. It is a good option if you're following a dairy free diet.

Recommended wine: Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, Moschofilero

Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, and Moschofilero are my top picks for Greek. If you feel like going Greek with your Greek food, assyrtiko and moschofilero are both lovely white wines to pair with chicken, seafood, etc. Agiorgitiko is a full bodied red suitable for roasted meats and lamb. The Skouras Saint George Agiorgitiko with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
