How To make Gyros
2 lb Lean lamb, ground
2 Bread slices;toasted,crushed
1 ts Allspice; pounded (?)
1 ts Coriander; crushed
1 Garlic clove; crushed
1 Onion; grated
1 ts Chopped fresh savory
Salt & freshly ground pepper 3 Slices bacon (?!!)
6 Pita bread pockets
2 Tomatoes; sliced thin
Vinegar & oil to taste 1 c Chopped fresh parsley
1 c Plain yogurt
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb with the bread, allspice, coriander, garlic, onion, savory, and salt and pepper, and knead thoroughly. The mixture should be spicy, though not too herby, and hold its shape. Break into 5 sections, each as large as a navel orange, then break each section into 6 balls. Knead and flatten slightly to a thickness of about 3/4". Cut the bacon slices into widths equal to these balls, keeping the slices of bacon between them. Slip a cane skewer through the centers and roll gently with the palms to smooth the edges. (There will be 5 or 6 skewers, depending on their length.) Cover and refrigerate
overnight. When ready to cook, set on a broiler tray or grill and cook under moderate heat, turning every 5 minutes. (The bacon will baste the meat.) The surface will be crusty and the inside cooked within 25 minutes. To serve: Put out the bread, meat, tomatoes seasoned with the vinegar and oil, parsley and yogurt in separate dishes. Guests may open pocket bread and stuff them with meat and seasonings. From: "The Food of Greece" by Vilma Liacouras Chantiles, Avenet Books, New York.

The Ultimate Greek American Gyros
Follow my easy recipe to create the most delicious “Restaurant Quality” gyro pitas at home. This gyro meat can and should be doubled and even tripled because it freezes well. As a matter of fact, your family will beg you for this Greek-American classic once they try it.
Print this recipe here:
Serves 6:
1 medium onion, quartered
1-pound ground lamb
1-pound ground beef
5 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons salt
1 heaping teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
1 heaping teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Equipment: 9 x 5-inch loaf pan
For the Sandwiches:
Pita bread
Onion slices
Tomato slices
Tzatziki Sauce
Lettuce
Crumbled feta cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 °F, 160 °C.
Place the garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.
Add onion and puree until smooth.
Add ground beef with all of the spices. Pulse until the mixture becomes like a paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl in between pulses.
Place the mixture in a loaf pan. Compact it as much as possible.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the internal temperature registers 165 °F.
Allow the pan to cool at room temperature completely. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before removing from the pan.
Remove from pan onto a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice it thinly. Pour all of the pan juices over the slices along with any of the fat that has gelatinized. It adds so much flavor when heating it up for the sandwiches.
At this point, the gyro slices can be placed in a freezer-safe bag and frozen for future use.
To make the Gyro sandwiches, place a cast iron pan over medium heat and cook the gyro slices until they are browned on both sides.
Warm the pita bread slightly. Place some chopped lettuce, onion and tomato slices over the pita, the warm gyro slices and tzatziki sauce with crumbled feta. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
NOTES
Freezer Instructions: Place the cooked gyro slices in a freezer bag or an airtight (freezer-safe) container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to use thaw and pan fry until golden.
