Lamb and Tzatziki Sauce

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lamb

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Form the lamb mixture into small patties or meatballs. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Make the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir until well mixed. Season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave. Place cooked lamb patties in the pita, top with tzatziki sauce, sliced tomatoes, and red onions. Fold the pita and serve.
