SERVINGS

INGREDIENTS
2 lb. ground lamb
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. dried mint
1/8 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup parsley, snipped
Tzatziki sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine lamb, garlic, lemon juice, basil, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper and parsley in a large bowl. Blend well. Make thin patties and fry like a hamburger in heated skillet. Drain off grease. Some people split the pita bread to make a pocket, some just fold it in half like a taco and others lay in flat on a plate. Pile on the meat, fresh sliced tomatoes and thinly sliced raw onion. Top the whole thing with Tzatziki sauce and eat it with a knife and fork.
You can also pile the whole lot into a meatloaf tin and bake as you would for meatloaf. It’s easier to carve into thin slices then.

Hi, I needed this recipie for a project that I was doing in school. I went to the store and bought all the ingredients that were on the list. When I got home and started making it, I found more ingredients that I needed in the directions. My mom had to go back to the store and get them. (wasn't very happy)
That's it, & thank you for listening to my problem.

This is an absoltely wrong recipe for gyros. Gyros is the doner kebab and the meat is broiled in the 'Doner Kebab' broiler, made specially for the purpose. The electric rotisseries they are selling today work well.
