Method

Roasting the Lamb

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the lamb shoulder.

  2. 2

    Roast the Lamb

    Place the lamb in a roasting pan and cover it with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before shaving.

Making the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber and squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 4

    Mix the Tzatziki

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt. Mix until well combined and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Assembling the Gyro

  1. 5

    Prepare the Flatbread

    Warm the naan flatbreads in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side until soft.

  2. 6

    Shave the Lamb

    After the lamb has rested, shave it thinly using a sharp knife.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Gyro

    On each warm naan, layer the shaved lamb, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Roll the naan up to enclose the fillings.
