Sliced Lamb Gyros

When life gives you perfectly smoked leg of lamb leftovers…you make sliced lamb gryo’s!

First, make your tzatziki sauce and put it in the fridge to meld.

1 cup Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
salt and pepper, to taste, we just used pepper
We also sliced in about half of a cup of diced English cucumber.

We had about a pound of leftover smoked lamb robert from Easter yesterday, so tonight we made the best of it. We THIN sliced the lamb and tossed it into a high-heat cast iron skillet with a little olive oil to quickly sear it. Meanwhile we warmed up some pita bread with a little olive oil.

Onto a plate with a square of aluminum foil went the pita, and then the tzatziki sauce. Lay down some sliced romaine lettuce, the lamb slices, sliced onion (sweet or red) and then tomato slices. Top with more sauce and then crumbled feta.

Fold in the center and seal with the foil, then serve.

What a great bite! Yes, not a tradition ground-lamb/beef gyro, but every bit as wonderful!
