I really tasty gryo with tzatziki sauce. Cooking/preparation time does not include 2 hours of refrigeration time for meatloaf. Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
6 garlic cloves, minced |
3 tablespoons dried oregano |
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1 lb ground lamb |
1 lb ground beef |
8 whole gyro-style pita bread (6 inches) |
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
16 slices tomatoes |
8 slices sweet onions, halved |
1 cup plain yogurt |
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the egg, garlic, oregano, kosher salt and pepper. Crumble lamb and beef over mixture; mix well.
2. Pat into an ungreased 9-x5x3-inch loaf pan.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 60-70 minutes or until no pink remains and a meat thermometer reads 160°F.
4. Cool completely on a wire rack.
5. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
6. For sauce, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
7. Brush pita breads with 1 tablespoon oil; heat on a lightly greased griddle for 1 minute on each side. Keep warm.
8. Cut meatloaf into very thin slices. In a large skillet, fry meatloaf in remaining oil in batches until crisp.
9. On each pita bread, layer tomato, onion and meatloaf slices; top with some tzatziki sauce.
10. Carefully fold pitas in half.
11. Serve with remaining sauce.
