Lamb Gyro Ingredients
Lamb Gyro Directions
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Marinate the Lamb
Cut the lamb shoulder into chunks and add to the marinade. Toss to coat the lamb thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Cook the Lamb
Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. If grilling, thread lamb pieces onto skewers. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness. If using an oven, place lamb on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes.
4. Prepare the Pita
While the lamb is resting, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until soft and pliable.
5. Assemble the Gyro
Slice the cooked lamb into thin strips. Place a generous amount of sliced lamb in the center of each pita bread. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, diced cucumbers, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
6. Serve
Fold the pita over the fillings and serve immediately while warm.
