Lamb Gyros and Accompaniments
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Lamb
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb and coat it well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Cook the Rice
Rinse the rice under cold water. In a saucepan, bring vegetable or chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Grill the Lamb
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is well browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Assemble the Platter
