A Greek specialty, gyros are traditionally made from spiced, spit-roasted lamb. Here, we mold a ground lamb mixture into loaves. The yogurt dressing is a variation on traditional tzatziki. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
6 ounces ground lamb |
6 ounces ground sirloin |
cooking spray |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1 cup peeled shredded cucumber |
1/4 cup vertically sliced red onion |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1 (8-ounce) carton plain fat-free yogurt |
4 pocketless pitas |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. To prepare loaves, combine first 8 ingredients, stirring well. Divide mixture in half, forming each half into a 6 x 3-inch loaf. Place each loaf on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 7 minutes on each side or until done.
3. Sprinkle loaves with red pepper. Cut each loaf crosswise into 1/8-inch slices.
4. To prepare sauce, place cucumber and onion onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels. Cover with additional paper towels; let stand 5 minutes.
5. Combine cucumber mixture, mint, and next 5 ingredients (mint through yogurt), stirring well. Divide meat slices evenly among pitas; top each serving with about 1/4 cup sauce.
