[side] Lamb Gyros Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Lamb

   In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb shoulder and coat it well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

2. 2

   Cook the Lamb

   Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and grill or roast it for about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

3. 3

   Assemble the Gyros

   Slice the cooked lamb into thin strips. Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side. Place the sliced lamb in the pita and top with tzatziki sauce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and cucumbers.

4. 4

   Serve

   Serve the gyros with extra tzatziki sauce on the side, and enjoy!
