Lamb Gyro Recipe

Lamb Gyro Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lamb

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the lamb shoulder. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

2. 2

   Cook the Lamb

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the marinated lamb in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast in the oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and easily pulls apart.

3. 3

   Slice the Lamb

   Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice the lamb thinly against the grain.

4. 4

   Prepare the Salad

   In a bowl, combine diced cucumber, diced tomato, and sliced red onion. Toss lightly with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Assemble the Gyros

   Warm the pita bread in the oven or on a skillet. Place sliced lamb in the center of each pita, add a generous scoop of the salad mixture, and top with tzatziki sauce.
